Description

Town’s End in Groton and Mystic is an enjoyable short loop trail. It offers scenic views of the Beebe Cove waterfront, so you are sure to see some water fowl such as duck and geese on this majestic hike.  Although easy in difficulty, there is an associated minor elevation change of 30 feet and occasional exposed rocks/roots.  Atop the highest elevation is a large boulder with a small bench that is a perfect site to enjoy the scenery. The trail is short and well-marked, making it a perfect choice for a casual hike. 

It is in close proximity to other trails, including Moore Woodlands and Beebe Pond Park Loop Trail, if you desire further mileage. Town's End is the southern terminus of the Groton Cross Town Trial.
