Description

This park preserves some of Ledyard's unique glacial remains which formed more than 13,000 years ago at the melting of a glacier. The blue trail includes a challenging rock scramble that passes through a rocky ravine where boulders up to 30 feet in diameter are tumbled on top of one another. The alternative yellow trail bypasses the boulder scramble.
