About Us |
The Hoffman Preserve
Directions. The Hoffman property ( 23.7 acres) is reached by driving west from Laysville Center on the Boston Post Road to Sill Lane just past the Texaco Station. When you cross over the bridge, there is parking on both sides of the road. The Hoffman property is on the left (west/south) side of the road. Enter to the west by the bridge, bear to your right and keep the stone wall on your left. Avoid the field as it is not part of the OLCT property.
Trail.
The trail begins at a well
defined parking area on Sill Lane. It proceeds westward along a wood
road a hundred yards where a sign directs the hike
r to the left and up a
hill that overlooks the stream. The raked trail then proceeds along the
stream for two or three hundred yards where it turns to the right up a
slope. Follow the trail markers northward for two hundred yards where it
joins the wood road that you started on. It is a well marked loop trail
taking about 45 minutes to walk. Wild life include beaver, swans, ducks,
deer, and song birds.
