Geology Walk on the Hardwick Trails

Posted on October 27, 2024 By Hardwick Trails
Educational, Events

SATURDAY, NOV. 2 AT 9:00 AT THE HARDWICK TRAILS KIOSK

Did you know that Hardwick used to be the bottom of a glacial lake or that the bedrock of the Hardwick area was formed in a shallow, warm sea? The ice sheet that once covered all New England may have melted away thousands of years ago, but there are still plenty of features and many clues that reveal the subsurface and glacial history of Hardwick. Come join Dave Mitchell, retired science teacher and amateur geologist, while we explore Hardwick Trails.

Everyone is welcome at this free event sponsored by the Hardwick Trails Committee. The Hardwick Trails Kiosk is located behind the parking lot of Hazen Union School.

Participants should be prepared for a two mile walk. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring your walking stick/poles too. In case of rain, the event will occur Sunday, Nov. 3. Questions? Email [email protected]

Quote of the day…” I rode the Hardwick trails on Friday and I was blown away by how brilliant they are. I’ve ridden mountain bikes for 35 years and have ridden all over the country and those trails are truly some of the best! They are challenging but doable…it’s a similar experience to riding in Moab. As I was riding I kept saying to myself I have to thank whoever is behind these trails!”
