BACK to the Norwalk River.
This
is one of the few spots where the Norwalk River Watershed
extends into the town of Weston. Mayapple Brook starts on
the north side of Honey Hill Road in the Honey Hill Nature
Preserve, an open area under the protection of the Aspetuck Land Trust.
Downhill
and slightly to the south is the Gregg Preserve, at the end
of Mayapple Road in Wilton. One of its trails has a "serpentine"
path that repeatedly crosses and recrosses Mayapple Brook
on a series of small wooden bridges. The brook enters Seeley
Pond just beyond the southwest corner of the Gregg Preserve.
From there it continues southwest and meets the Norwalk River
about half a mile north of Cannondale.
