Things to Know
- There will be Land Bank staff members hiking and along the route. Since not all hikers walk at the same pace, please note the Coast to Coast Trail markers for changes in direction.
- Please respect your physical capabilities when planning which segment(s) you choose to hike, noting the distance between checkpoints. We will be setting a brisk pace for this seven to nine hour hike, so if you choose to hike the whole way, prepare for a long day.

There will be port-a-potties at Sheeps Common parking, 61 Millbrook Rd and at end of the hike at Settlers Landing.
- The hike will be on trails, dirt roads, bike paths and paved roads. Please use caution on roadways and bike paths. As always, watch out for poison ivy and check for ticks.
- Transportation is not provided, so plan accordingly. Parking is limited so please arrange to car pool when possible. Please make arrangements to get back to your car from the end of your planned hike (e.g. Uber, taxi, start early and travel with a friend and leave a car at the end, etc).
