Description
Although partially overlapping with the West Rock Ridge trail system, this is a special one-mile loop built by the students and staff of Common Grounds High School as a recreation of a 1933 nature trail. Especially notable are the twenty plant/tree/geologic features marked with corresponding entries in the trail guide at https://live-cgftw.pantheonsite.io/old-oak-nature-trail/ .
