Today's hike: 4 h 25 min | 8.6 mi | 2 mph.
I did the Mount Higby section of the Mattabesett. Lotta people out there today. Nice weather: cool, breezy, sunny.
I've done this section before. This time I hiked it in the opposite direction, going south. I took Rte 91 to exit 20, turned right onto Country Club Rd, and then zagged an immediate left onto an unmarked road. That is "Miner Rd" according to the map, but there was no sign - well, aside from the "Public Golf Course" sign. Almost immediately you get to the dirt shoulder where you can park - lots of trees for all-day shade, very nice!
From the dirt parking area, you walk about 5 minutes going east along Country Club Rd to get to the turn-off going south into the woods. It's not a bad walk: speed limit is 25 mph and there's a grassy shoulder the entire way. The turn-off is a little difficult to recognize. It's almost opposite house number 666 (really!).
This photo gives you an idea of the walk along Country Club Rd. No danger.
