Looking for a walk 🥾 with a big return 🌄?
Head to the Granby Land Trust’s Emery and Hart Family Preserves, accessible through the Seth and Lucy Holcombe Preserve trail system in North Granby.
Park at the Holcombe Preserve lot on Silver Street and follow the orange trail up a moderate incline. Turn right onto the yellow trails, which connect to the Emery and Hart Family Preserves — where you’ll discover peaceful woodlands, a scenic ridgeline, and spectacular views from multiple lookouts.
This walk is approximately 1.5 miles out and back, with plenty of opportunities to extend your adventure by exploring more of the Holcombe Preserve trail system.
We are incredibly grateful 🙏 to the Emery and Hart families for sharing these remarkable properties and helping preserve this special place for everyone to enjoy. 🌿
