This will be a guided hike of “medium” challenge- a well-manicured trail with no significant up-and-down pitches, but it will be six miles.
The Mattatuck Trail is one of the premier Blue-Blazed Trails of Connecticut, stretching 35 miles most of the way across Litchfield County, from Peterson Park in Wolcott to Mohawk Mountain in Cornwall. The magnificent centerpiece of this trail is the six-mile section that traverses White Memorial.
During our hike, we’ll walk through the old-growth forest of Catlin Woods, pass many vernal pools buzzing with activity, skirt the edge of Cranberry Swamp, admire Memorial Rock, and take in the breathtaking view overlooking Plunge Pool.

Come prepared with appropriate footwear, a small backpack, plenty of water, raingear, sunscreen, insect repellant or head net, snacks/light lunch, and binoculars.  Expect to be on the trail with us for a good 5 hours.
Only heavy weather cancels. FREE,  8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Meet at the pull offs at the end of Slab Meadow Road in East Morris. From there we will car/van pool to the Mattatuck Trailhead on Bissell Road in Litchfield.. We then hike southbound, back to our cars. LIMITED TO 15.
