The Carolyn Long Trail

In 1960, after the tragic death of town forest planner, and committee member Carolyn Long, the Appalachian Mountain Club cut a trail which was named for and dedicated in her honor.

The Carolyn Long Trail is a very beautiful and diverse part of the Town Forest. It contains both Conservation and Public Domain land, three current wetland crossings, a foundation, and a wide array of habitat and diverse species. In addition to fabulous stone walls there are many glacial erratics. The Trail eventually crosses Wiggins, and loops around to rejoin Wiggins, thereby making a loop.

The trail entrance is at 255 Pine Street. Several trail maintence projects have been planned for this summer. We hope to see you in the Forest!
