    LOCAL HIKE TO ABANDONED GARNET MINE

    William Blake Pond, The Nature Trail, and the Old Hooper Mine  All these trails begin across from Garnet Hill ski shop.  Begin on the uphill driveway across from the ski shop adjacent to the tennis courts.  Straight up the driveway a turnoff will lead to the Old Hooper Mine. (1 mile roundtrip, easy)  The Hooper Mine is a part of Garnet Hill history when the area was mined for Garnets.  Old cellar holes, foundations, mine equipment and the Hooper mine itself remain to remind us of the mining era.  Look for Garnets while you are there, some still remain!   Just before the turnoff for the Hooper Mine is the beginning of the Nature trail, on the right side of the driveway.  Follow the Nature Trail to its end and you will be at William Blake Pond.  An informal path (marked with a ribbon) leads from the pond back to the old Hooper Mine, making a nice loop.
