Hike for seniors to be offered

Steep Rock Preserve will offer a senior citizens hike and picnic from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday.

The event will feature a short and leisurely, guided hike to an historic area, followed by a light picnic lunch.

The walk will include views of ruins of the Holiday House, a hotel which once offered respite for female factory workers from New York City at the turn of the 20th century.

Meet at the preserve’s main parking area at 2 Tunnel Road.

An ATV will be available to assist those who have difficulty walking over uneven terrain.

Registration is required by calling 860-868-9131. Donations will be accepted.
