I've been to Hammonasset several times, but can't find a map that labels any of the features that are often mentioned on the list. I normally park in the large lot by the nature center - where are the Moraine Trail steps in relation to this? Yes, I want to shoot for the Hooded Warbler today :^)

Thanks for any quick hints that will get me pointed in the right direction!

I'd really appreciate receiving any responses to this question as well - I've been there more times than I can count and only a few of the labels mentioned on this bird list are actually found on signs at the park. Thank you!

At the beginning of the trail to Willard's Island there is a kiosk with maps put out by The Friends of Hammonasset. It is well-marked with regards to points in the park. I'll bet it is by the Nature Center as well.

The Morraine trail travels eastward AWAY from the famous jetty. There is a short staircase that goes down to a seashell beach and this is the area where the hooded warbler was seen for a while.

The moraine trail is the one at the extreme east end of the park that begins at the Meigs Point parking lot. The trail starts at the high point lookout(up the steps) with the veiwing platform and skirts Clinton Harbor as you walk north.

The "birders log" outside the Nature Center has a map of the park that's labeled.

At the entrance gate or inside the Nature center you can get a map of the park and maps for the variuos trails. Willards Island Trail, Ceder Island Trail, Moraine Trail.

All over the Park are outside "reading rails": That's a big tilted panel with graphics and text that interpret the geology and ecology of the park. These are also labeled.

Hope that helps you navigate Hammonassett.
