Hiking Zofnass Family Preserve in Pound Ridge on Thursday, Oct 18, 2018 The Zofnass Family Preserve in Pound Ridge is a 150 acre property owned by the Westchester Land Trust. At this time of the year it is a lush green. There are about 8 miles of trails over a rustic terrain. We will be hiking a loop of about 3 miles, which should be completed in about 2-2 ½ hours. This hike is not for beginners. The trail is
quite rugged with several ups and downs. You do need stamina and a sense ofbalance. Experienced hikers will find this hike in the rustic wilderness most enjoyable.
Due to limited parking space at the trailhead we will meet at 9.30 am at the Long Ridge Tavern located at 2635 Long Ridge Road, Stamford and car pool from there. Take Exit 34 off the Merritt Parkway and head north on Long Ridge Road for about 3.8 miles till you come to the Tavern on the right ( a red building just before the the blinking traffic light.)
From the Long Ridge Tavern the ride to the trailhead , located at 245 Upper Shad Road is about 5-8 minutes. We expect to start hiking by 9.45 am and finish by about 12.15
pm. Its a beautiful time of the year and the hike should be a rewarding experience.
Lunch will follow at the Long Ridge Tavern for those interested, about 12.30 pm.
We welcome participation from spouses.
Dogs on leash are allowed.
