CHOCORUA — The Chocorua Lake Conservancy will present a geology walk with geologist Rick Allmendinger on Wednesday, June 29, from 9 a.m.-noon. This will be an exploration of the local glacial and bedrock geology of the Clark Reserve in Chocorua. The rain date will be Thursday, June 30.

The hike will give an opportunity to see eskers, glacial meltwater channels and kame terraces, as well as two types of granite with different ages. Hikers will also see the Splitting Stone and learn why the rock-working methods of 100 years ago are still the ones used today. The hike will start and end at the southern end of the Old Mail Road on Chocorua Lake/Fowlers Mill Road and will cover about 2.4 miles and about 300 feet of elevation change.
