About Map: Dexter Lake Trail ....
Off of Sealy Road in Stratford (which is an alternative way to get to Piseco-Powley Road), there is Hall Road which is marked with a sign, which you can hike back along to a snowmobile trail that goes back 2.5 miles to Dexter Lake with a spur off to the south shore of Spectacle Lake. The trail is mostly flat, with modest up and down, and some wet spots especially in the spring time.
