Ansonia Nature Center to Quillinan Trail Loop. Picnic Afterwards!

We'll be starting out from the Ansonia Nature Center Trail and connect with the Quillinan Reservoir Loop. This is a 6.5-mile moderate-paced loop hike that features rolling terrain with interesting rock formations, a babbling brook, the Quillinan Reservoir, and a visit to a former Paugussett Indian settlement. Total elevation gain is a mild 700 ft. of climbing. If a picnic is scheduled, and you'd like to participate, please bring something that could be shared (i.e. potluck). Hike Leader: Patrick Cunningham (203) 837-0912 If you RSVP "YES" and can't make it, PLEASE change your RSVP so that the next person on the waitlist can attend. We do ask for a contribution of $3 per hike or $15 per year to cover meetup.com fees and if any money is leftover it goes towards our annual social event.
