Description
A huge boulder with a striking prow. Directly on a high traffic hiking trail leading into a nature preserve, so please clean off chalk and do not disturb plant life. Best not visited on weekends.
Getting There
From the Parking area for Long and Ell pond, off Canonchet road, take the right hand yellow dot trail west along a ridge above Long pond on DEM land. It is about 5 minutes in, right on the trail. Just beyond the boulder becomes Audubon/Nature Conservancy land so do not climb beyond this point, be quiet, Get your pads out of the way if walkers are coming and leave the boulder brushed clean of chalk. A bit of water will help with this.
