This hiking trail is on Rt. 20 in East Lee. The Lee Land Trust, working with The Trustees, have developed a 2+ mile loop trail on their adjoining properties. The trail begins from the parking area with stone steps that continue up the steepest portions. As you near the highest section you will be in the cool shade of hemlocks & seasonally blooming Mountain Laurel! Keep your eyes open for resident wildlife, interesting boulders with moss, mushrooms & blooming native flowers.
