The Heins also planted hundreds of seedlings on the property, as evidenced by many spruce and hemlock trees.<\/p><p><strong>Trails:<\/strong><\/p><p>An entrance to the Hein hiking trails is located at the corner of Tuttle and Carrington Roads.\u00a0 There is a separate entrance there for a horse trail that crosses over into Water Authority property and is for horseback riders only. \u00a0The trails course through both the Land Trust\u2019s parcel as well as adjacent RWA property.<\/p><ul><li>The main trail (0.9 miles; moderate) heads west from Carrington Road, turns right after crossing a stream and heads west uphill eventually looping around back toward Carrington Road. It passes through a combination of wetlands, mixed hardwood forests and rocky outcroppings with boulders the size of a small truck. Some of those outcroppings were given colorful names by the Hein family such as Ambush Rock, the Rock Garden, and Council Rock.<\/li><li>A connecting trail (0.25 miles; moderate) climbs west in between the loop trail.<\/li><li>A trail (0.25 miles; easy) from another entrance on Hilldale Road heads south through an easement, enters RWA land and eventually connects with the main loop trail.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-070f4fc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"070f4fc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54ac5c5 addressparking elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54ac5c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Hein Trails info<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Address:<\/strong>\u00a0191 Carrington Road, Bethany CT<\/p><p><strong>Size:<\/strong>\u00a06.7 acres<\/p><p><strong>Parking:<\/strong>\u00a0The trailheads start near the intersection with Tuttle Road, where parking is available at the side of the road.
