2017 Hike #21: CLCT's Sun, Wind, adn Woodlands Property - Canton, CT

Date Hiked: Saturday, June 3, 2017
Estimated distance:  3.84 miles
Weather: 63°F, partly cloudy
Resources: Canton Land Conservation Trust, Sun, Wind, and Woodlands Trail Map
Highlights of the trip:  ferns
Progress toward 2017 Outdoor Goals:  21/52 hikes; 73.67/250 miles hiked


For various reasons, my hiking partner and I did not participate in one of the scheduled hikes for CT Trails Weekend, but we did venture out on our own to Canton Land Conservation Trust's Sun, Wind, and Woodlands Preserve.  The trail was pretty well marked, but I will admit some confusion near some of the fields.  Not a big deal, though.  I  thought the ferns were especially pretty here.
