PROSPECT Hikers can now make their way from Kathan Woods Nature Preserve in town all the way down to West Rock Ridge State Park in New Haven along the same trail.
Officials from the Prospect Land Trust and Connecticut Forest and Park Association worked together to extend the blue-blazed Quinnipiac Trail 3.4 miles from where the trail previously ended about half a mile above Roaring Brook to a new northern terminus in Kathan Woods Nature Preserve off Boardman Drive.
