“HIKING” ROWAYTON
FRIDAY JANUARY 15, 2021
9:00 AM
MEET AT ROWAYTON MARKET*
Please join us for a three mile tour of the village of Rowayton.
We will start out from the Rowayton Market at 9:00 AM and hike around most of the perimeter of Rowayton. Lot’s of water views and interesting architecture and history. While there will be some modest hills, for the most part the hike will be relatively flat over paved surfaces. It can be windy so layer up!
Guests and dogs on a leash are welcome. Should be fun!
*THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING IN THE LOTS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE MARKET

HIKING ROWAYTON
JANUARY 15, 2021
Led by David McCollum and Bob Plunkett, a hearty group of 20 including
several guests participated in a walking tour of the coastal village of
Rowayton on a cool and windy Friday morning.
Our route started at the Rowayton Market and proceeded south along
Rowayton Avenue to the end and then around Pine Point and Nearwater
Lane to South Beach. DMA member Peter Tombros, a Bell Island resident,
joined us to get us access to the Rocky Point promontory surrounded on
three sides by the Sound. Normally a great place to see Manhattan, but the
misty weather blocked our view.
After a windy and cold stop for sightseeing,, we walked the length of Bell
Island over the stone bridge to the Rowayton Yacht Club. At that point, we
split into two groups, one taking the Sammis Street shortcut back to the
Market, and the remainder continued up Bluff Avenue and then down
Wilson back to the Market. About one and three quarters hours for the
longer walk.
A good start to what we hope is a series of winter walks over local venues.
