Oak Hill Conservation Land — Attraction in Littleton

We stopped at Oak Hill Conservation as a halfway point on our drive home to Maine from Connecticut. Lookout Rock was pretty easy to get to although even though it was a clear day the Boston skyscrapers were not "clearly visible" as stated in the guide book. The view was pretty and well worth the stop. The only other issue is that there are a lot of trails and "spurs" that if you are not paying close attention to your map (we took a picture of the map at the trailhead) it could be easy to get a bit lost.

Great local hike and the trails are...
