The Lyme Trail Association (LTA) is dedicated to the maintenance, stewardship and enjoyment of trails in Lyme, Old Lyme and the surrounding area. The LTA is a trail maintenance organization that supports a community of horseback riders and non-riders who appreciate the rural character of southeastern CT and understand the importance of preserving the area’s rustic nature. We also encourage our members to participate in hunter paces, organized trail rides, trail maintenance activities, educational events and just plain having fun! The Lyme Trail Association owes thanks to the generous landowners, public lands and private preserves that allow LTA members to enjoy their property.
Our Goals:
- To maintain and promote the responsible use of the land and trails.
- To promote good will and serve as liaison between the trail users and landowners, towns, and organizations that support these resources.
- To provide organized support for the preservation, enjoyment and stewardship of open land in Lyme, Old Lyme and the surrounding area.
Membership: This is a membership only organization, with trails open to all who pay an annual membership fee. Trail use is limited to equestrians, nature walkers, hikers and cross-country skiers.
