2.2 miles; Ledyard, CT This hike was a guided hike sponsored by the Avalonia Land Conservancy. Which, by the way, was named after the prehistoric microcontinent of Avalon, parts of which can be found in Great Britain, the Maritime provinces of Canada, northern Maine, all of Rhode Island, and parts of coastal Connecticut.
