Thursday Hike: Grills Preserve, Bradford

This walk on WLT’s 500-acre preserve is over primarily flat terrain often along the Pawcatuck River on clear, wide trails.  We will be able to see some newly discovered foundations. There is a gorgeous scenic view from the top of aptly named, Big Hill, which requires a bit of steep climbing. Meet at the parking lot at the cul-de-sac end off Bowling Lane in Bradford Village.

To sign up please contact hike leader: Janice Fifer, (401) 213-6479, and email: [email protected]

Please keep in mind that these are wooded trails with stumps, roots and rocks so be sure to wear hiking boots or good walking shoes. Make sure you bring water and maybe a snack. Hikes leave promptly so please be on time.

NOTE: This event is FREE to all. Inclement weather cancels and if in doubt, contact leader.
