New Year’s Day Hike – Red Hill Woods

Join us for a peaceful start to 2017 with a hike at the Branford Land Trust newest acquisition, Red Hill Woods.

Red Hill Woods is a stunning 29-acre parcel at the end of Red Hill Road, just north of 950 acres of protected open space currently protected by the Branford Land Trust, the Guilford Land Conservation Trust, and the Town of Branford.

Walkers should expect moderate terrain, with some sloping trails and inclines. Bring water. Walking sticks welcome.

To get there, take I-95 to Exit 56 and head south on Leetes Island Road about 0.3 miles. Turn left onto Red Hill Road and continue past Van Wie Pond to the very end of the road.  Some short-distance carpooling may be required if there is significant snow.
