Knights Hill Nature Park Trail System
Knights Hill Nature Park Trail System
The Knights Hill Nature Park Trail System provides public access to lands owned by the New London Outing Club (NLOC) and protected by New London Conservation Commission conservation easements. Parking is available in a parking area off County Road (P). Five interconnected trails are in the nature park plus a connector link to the Lyon Brook Trail. The Forest and Field Loop Trail is a nature trail marked with orange circular blazes. The Glen Loop Trail is a nature trail marked with blue circular blazes (in blue on the map). The C.O.R.E. Loop Trail is a forest trail marked with red circular blazes (in red on the map). The "Town Overlook Trail" (no views possible) is a forest trail marked with two red circular blazes, one above the other, (in purple on the map). The Birdwatch Trail is a nature trail marked with yellow circular blazes (in yellow on the map). The Lyon Brook Connector Trail is not blazed but leaves the Glen Loop Trail at a low point along the trail. Markers identify trees, wildflowers and ferns along the self-guiding nature trails. A brochure is available at the entrance kiosk that provides a larger map and a description of the nature park (pages 1 and 2).
