CHOCORUA — The Chocorua Lake Conservancy will be presenting for an exploration of the local glacial and bedrock geology of the Clark Reserve in Chocorua with geologist Rick Allmendinger and naturalist Lynne Flaccus on Thursday, June 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.

The hike will offer an opportunity to see eskers, glacial meltwater channels and kame terraces, as well as two types of granite with different ages. Participants 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.
