This merry bnd of hikers gathered for the 2019 New Year’s Day hike led by Lyme Land Trust. Why not join them this year?

LYME — Start off the New Year with a refreshing walk in the woods!

Everyone is welcome to join a New Year’s Day Hike on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020 to Pleasant Valley Overlook from 1 p.m. to roughly 3:30 p.m. Wendolyn Hill, Lyme Land Trust Board member, and Lyme Open Space Coordinator, will lead a walk to the overlook in Pleasant Valley Preserve.

The view from the Pleasant Valley Pverlook in Lyme is unobstructed at this time of year.

This is the time of year to gain a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Lyme vista. The walk is relatively easy most of the way, with a moderate climb to reach the overlook. A portion of the George and Rosemary Moore Trail will be followed.

The entire walk is about three miles. There will be a snack break on the overlook. Bring something to drink.

Inclement weather will cancel the hike. Check lymelandtrust.org for updates.

Directions: Rte. 156 north to left on Macintosh Rd. (across from Beaver Brook Road.) The parking area is about ¼ mile down on the right. Meet at Pleasant Valley Parking Lot at 1p.m.

Registration is appreciated at openspace@townlyme.org
