Quinttown Road

What are the cement silos?

Join us for a mile long trail walk in
the woods in Quinttown to find out!

As a special bonus, we will

Wilderness Trust who will help us identify plants, animals and
natural features along the trail. Please wear clothing and
footwear appropriate for the weather.

The trail begins just beyond Flat Rock.

We welcome people of all ages to come on the walk..
