Mine Hill Preserve
Mine Hill Preserve offers striking contrasts: moss‑covered granite, old mine shafts, brick/stone furnace ruins, quarry ponds and cool cave mouths that emit mist.

Terrain is uneven—bring sturdy boots, a buddy for off‑trail exploration, and respect fenced or unstable mine openings. Interpret‑
