About Us |
Lohmann Buck Twining Preserve
The land donated by John Lohmann of Old Lyme, the Twining Family Trust, and Edith Buck of Essex has 2,000 feet of frontage on the Lieutenant River, an important tributary of the Connecticut River. The landowners also donated a conservation easement on the property to The Nature Conservancy.
Also see article from Lymeline.com.
Directions. Take route 156 north to Riverview Drive (right hand turn at mailbox on right hand side that says "79"). Park at the sharp bend of the road.
Trail.
The trail starts straight ahead from the
parking area and goes up the knoll, then
turns right and shortly
thereafter left again, down the hill to the Lieutenant River at the
south end of the preserve. The trail follows the edge of the marsh north
for about 900 feet, then heads up (look for arrows to show the turns) to
the top of the ridge, where it turns south toward the start, passing a
50 foot side path to a fantastic overlook to the west along the way.
