Weston’s Cat Rock & 80 Acres conservation land, boasts 5.5 miles of trails through 130 acres of forests, fields, and wetlands. Visitors can climb to the top of Cat Rock Hill, one of the highest points in Weston, where a ski area with two tow ropes operated from 1957‐1978. The hill is reportedly named for the bobcats that once frequented the area. 80 Acre Field is an old farm field that, in the 1950’s, served as private hunting grounds for quail and deer. From the Hobbs Pond dam, enjoy a lovely view of the pond, which was created in the late 1950’s and stocked with brown trout for the 80 Acre Fishing Club. The dam was rebuilt after it was damaged by severe rains in 2010. We’ll meet in the parking lot at the end of Drabbington Way in Weston and join our intrepid hike leader Jean Bonney.
