Gungywamp Guided Hike in Groton

Description

Summer is a great time of year to get a full view of the landscape that makes up Gungywamp, an archaeological site of natural and cultural interest, recently named to the CT State Historic Register and protected as a State Archeological Preserve. Join us on a guided hike at Gungywamp to explore the rocky ridges, glacial erratics and swamps along with the mysterious stone shelter and structures whose use and origin are open to interpretation. Walk with us through the woods and absorb the centuries of mystery of Gungywamp. A Gungywamp hike is for adults and families who are comfortable walking two miles of moderate difficulty over uneven terrain. Note: Gungywamp is NOT at the Nature Center. Meet in the parking area at the former Shepherd of the Sea Chapel, 231 Gungywamp Road, Groton. DPNC is a steward of the property, and a guided hike with DPNC is the only way to access this state and private land legally.
