Rattle Snake Hill and Cave via Manchester Water Works
We wanted to hike out to Rattlesnake Hill Cave. We started out at the Mancester Water Works on Canal Ave and traced how the water get from Lake Massabesic to the homes it serves as their drinking water. We were on Fire Roads most of the time with a short bushwhack to the cave. Skies were threating rain all day, but thankfully did hold off. Except for the downed tree we mentioned above, the hike was mostly flat until the bushwhack to Rattlesnake Hill and the Cave.
We did post a video of our day for anyone interested in seeing the hike or learning more abouot Lake Massabesic being a drinking water source. Click Link Below... |
