The Towner Hill Preserve features impressive glacial erratics. These massive boulders were left behind at the end of the last ice age. This hike begins with a steep incline along a boulder field that gives geology enthusiasts plenty of reasons to pause, admire, and rest. A pair of glacial erratics marks the top of the climb. The rolling loop along at top offers beautiful views to the east after the leaves fall. In the early spring, vernal pools host many species of frogs, toads, and salamanders.
Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy (NCLC) preserved this property in 2008 with funding from the federal Highlands Conservation Act and State of Connecticut.
