Prospect Mountain is a 328-acre preserve, located west of the Borough of Litchfield, and includes most of a locally prominent hill featuring a spectacular viewpoint near its 1350-foot summit, as well as a large pond to the west. It is mostly forested, with several meadows indicating past agricultural uses. The area was subject to significant nickel mining explorations in the 19th century.
Hike this beautiful property which is now owned by the Litchfield Land Trust with former land trust President, Richard Heys, local historian, Lee Swift, and White Memorial's Research Director, James Fischer. The history, geology, and natural beauty of Prospect Mountain will be discussed. Bring sturdy shoes, a hiking pole, and plenty of water.
