Then take a trip down the Laurel Hill Trail to visit spectacular Cat Swamp. Wind your way through a carpet of Princess Pine to the swamp where sightings of Wood Ducks, otters, herons, beavers, and hawks are commonplace. Wear sturdy, waterproof shoes. A hiking pole might be useful. Some water and bug spray might come in handy too! 8:00 a.m., Meet at the Apple Hill parking area located at 144 East Shore Road. Limited to 15 guests.
