Description

Good sized boulder with a lot of interesting features on the northeast side of the park overlooking a beautiful Greenwich mansion. Sit starts, overhangs, mantles, I think there's really a lot of potential here, especially once the mossy slab is scrubbed so that the low overhanging sit start routes can be topped.

Getting There

From the North St parking lot, take the first right onto the storybook trail. Halfway through the storybook trail, at the bottom of a hill, the storybook trail splits left while the other trail splits right across some streams. Take the right fork and follow the trail for 5-10 minutes until you see the fence. If you follow the fence line, there is a gap in the fence where the Greenwich Land Trust begins and the boulder is just inside the fence. The boulder is marked on a trail map in the photos section of Babcock Preserve.
