SUMMARY:Salter's Pond loop trail
DESCRIPTION:Moderately paced one-mile scenic walk on the loop trail at Salter’s Pond\, starting at the parking lot of Salter’s pool\, 123 Lydall Street — plenty of parking. Salter’s Pond got its name from Lorenzo T. Salter who\, in partnership with Mr. Strong\, founded the Salter and Strong paper mill\, which became Lydall paper mill. The walk may be wet depending on the weather\, and hikers should wear sturdy footwear. The route is not mountainous\, but does have stairs\, hills\, and bumpy spots\, where roots stick out\, so participants need to be agile. No dogs\, please. Takes about 1 hour. The pond and adjacent land is owned by the Manchester Land Conservation Trust.\nClick here for info about the Lydallville section of Manchester on the Manchester Historical Society’s website.
