SUMMARY:

Join me for this early spring 4-5 mile hike along a variety of woodlands trails traversing the 285 acres of town-owned property in the southwestern section of Manchester CT.  For a small area, the variety of terrain is amazing and beautiful, with a great viewpoint of the CT river valley at the lunch stop.  Please bring water, snacks and lunch for our stop on the 744' towering summit of Lookout Mountain!

Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

From I-384E take exit 4 (Highland St/Wyllys St), turn right at the end of the ramp onto Wyllys Street which leads into Spring Street.  Continue on Spring Street past waterfall and down left (across a single-lane bridge) to Case Mountain Trail/Spring Street parking area on left (for 8 or 9 cars).  From I-384W take exit 4, turn right onto Highland Street then right onto Wyllys Street which leads into Spring Street and onward to parking area on left.  I'll direct you to an overflow parking lot if this one fills up.
