Stone Wall Walk

Join us for a short 1.5 mile hike up the Col trail as we investigate Squam's old stone walls for clues about the natural and built landscape. You will be prompted to find out how and why stone walls were built while being supplemented with local knowlege and forest ecology. This program is perfect for anyone who wants to learn a little New England history, go on a short hike, or simply socialize with others in an outdoor setting.
