Once again the weekend weather sounds like the perfect time to get out and get some exercise with the family. This week's featured property is the Harrison Smith Preserve.
The 23 acre Harrison Smith Preserve combines the beauty of a New England woodland with historical glimpses of Wilton in a bygone era. Created in 1974 when the Smith family generously donated the land to the Wilton Land Conservation Trust. The northern most section of the Smith Preserve borders Quarry Head. Smith Preserve and Quarry Head together, give citizens of Wilton a combined area of nearly 60 acres of open space, with interconnecting trails for passive recreation and spiritual refreshment.
Directions: From Wilton Center, go north on Route 33 (Ridgefield Road) for ±3 miles to Keeler’s Ridge Road. The park entrances are found off the south end of Keeler’s Ridge Road and just north of the northern Keeler’s Ridge Road entrance on the right.
Acreage: ±23
Parking: On Keeler’s Ridge Road; from Quarry Head.
Access: Best through Quarry Head; off Ridgefield Road and off Keeler’s Ridge Road.
Trails: Scenic woodland trails for hiking and horse back riding. Distance not available.
Ownership: Wilton Land Conservation Trust

What are the leash laws for this property? It sounds like a great place for families to hike with their dogs.
ReplyDeleteI like it. Perhaps the reason for too few followers is the title is being taken too literally.
ReplyDeleteNot sure of the lease law, but dogs do accompany their owners and run off lead with smiles on their slobbery faces!
