 Shauger Hill Hiking Trail |
This 2.4 mile. (3.9 km) trail takes you through hardwood forest
interspersed with a few small fields and pine plantations. The first
half of the loop has some moderate uphill slopes, while the latter part
has some steep downhill sections. The glacial soil of this hill
supports the climax beech/maple forest.
The trail crosses Shauger Hill Road twice and the Stocking Scenic Drive
twice. Be careful crossing these roads.
This rich woodland changes with the seasons. In the spring, look for
wild flowers and morels; in the summer enjoy the deep shade and listen
for songs of the ovenbird, red-eyed vireo and veery; in the fall, relish
the colorful foliage; and in the winter, try cross-country skiing
through these snowy woods, part of the Scenic Drive Cross-Country Trail
system.
