Description
A great hike! Many complex trails lead to some interesting and beautiful views. Sometimes the trail goes right off a cliff! Bring climbing/bouldering gear for some good action.

We took the mainly stayed on the Orange and White trails that lead down to the Lost Lake Vista and salt marshes. Its mid-March, and the trails are clear and clean.

Its easy to get lost so get your map at Bishop\'s Orchard store across Rte 1 from the turn-off to Dunk Rock Road.

Standard precautions should be taken for some of the more complicated trails. Bring water, a snack, and wear comfortable but durable hiking shoes, as the trails can be complicated and challenging.

Directions to Hike
From New Haven, travel North on I-95 to exit 57. Take right off ramp, onto Rte. 1. About a mile and half later, you\'ll pass Bishop\'s Orchard on your left. Just after that on your right will be Dunk Rock Road. Turn right there, and follow to the end of the road to a cul-de-sac.
