Three PLT Trails Now Blazed for Hiking
The three central Princeton PLT trails have been marked with blue dots, so that they may be followed with more confidence. These trails are located as follows: ·
Peabody/Metcalf/Poor
properties: Park off Sterling Road just east of Merriam Road near the
Princeton Land Trust. Parking for four or five cars. One mile loop down to a
large isolated beaver pond. · Gregory Property:
Park along Prospect Street, near the sign for the Gregory Trail. The loop
is short but includes a spur that goes down to the Gregory Spring. We plan to
connect this to East Princeton Road soon. ·
Bullock/McElroy
properties: Park off Bullock Road in the field on the left (there is a
break in the wall. Walk down through the first field to the right, then to the
kiosk. From there the trail loops, left and right of the Kiosk, down to Krashes
Field. From Krashes Field, you can also find the trail by walking up to the upper (right) soccer field and finding the marked trail in the back corner of the field. You can read up on the properties and trails on our brochure: |
