Milford Conservation Commission 4th Saturday Hike
February 25, 2012
Please join us for the commission’s 4th Saturday Hike on February 25, 2012 at Mile Slip Town Forest at 9:00. There is parking available on Mile Slip Road. There are several trails to hike – we will poll the hikers to determine which one to hike. The hike will last about 2 hours, but you can leave whenever you need. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Prepare for muddy/snowy conditions.
The Mile Slip Town Forest is as close to wilderness as you can get in Milford. This area has many natural resource features in addition to being a great place to recreate. Wildlife, including bears, bobcat and moose, use this part of town. It connects to nearly 7,000 acres of undeveloped land in Brookline, Mason, Wilton and Milford. On March 8, 2005 75% of citizens voting in Milford agreed to purchase this 452 acre parcel. The closing on the property was August 24th of 2005.
Directions to Mile Slip Town Forest: Head west from the Oval and make the immediate left onto Union St., drive 0.6 miles and turn right onto Osgood Rd. Continue 0.7 miles and turn right onto Mason Rd. (Osgood Pond will be on your right). Drive 2.3 miles, turn left onto Mile Slip Rd. The parking lot for this town forest is just over 2 miles on the right. [All trails remain closed to motorized wheeled vehicles indefinitely.]

The Milford Conservation Commission places a very high value on assuring the opportunity to enjoy our natural resources and those of our neighboring communities. To familiarize hikers new to our trails and to foster comradery amongst more seasoned hikers, the Commission hosts hikes on the 4th Saturdays of each month except during December. The Commission maintains an email list to update all interested parties regarding each hike (please contact us to be added). Hike leaders are Conservation Commissioners or volunteers who are familiar with the trails.
