HADDAM LAND TRUST TRAIL POLICY 

All Haddam Land Trust (HLT) trails are for foot travel (hiking, running, cross country skiing) only. The intent is to provide a “wilderness” experience.  Dogs must be kept on a leash.

HLT will consider  upgrading any trail or trail system to a more intense use only when  requested in writing by a user group and  submitted to the HLT for review. No motorized use will be  considered. The user group must submit a written request to the HLT Board of Directors and include a map clearly indicating the subject trail and a signed commitment to assist the HLT with both the upgrade and maintenance of the subject trail. HLT will reserve the right to let the trail or trial system revert to foot travel only if the user group does not keep these commitments.

Washburn Hill Preserve Trail

A Wesleyan GIS class project in 2010 proposed a loop trail for the inner portion of the Washburn Hill Preserve.
