O.V. Yonder Hiking Club -Company Mill Preserve hike-

Meet at: Hagan-Stone Park on the cul-de-sac at the end of Cedar Rd
Company Mill Preserve is growing in popularity, but since the newest portion of the trail just opened in October 2019, maybe you can get to this beautiful preserve before everyone else does. With both long boardwalks past beaver dams and higher land of mature forests and an old homestead, the 3 mile trail gives you remarkable variety. What not so long ago was a marshy area that collected a lot of trash has been transformed with tremendous clean-up and trail building efforts into a fun place to explore and a valuable habitat for wildlife.
Situated next to Hagan-Stone Park (another wonderful place to hike), the trail has two entrances. The trailhead on the West comes out of Hagan-Stone Park ( where we are meeting for this hike) and the one on the East side starts you off at the dam and boardwalks off Company Mill Road.
