Coastal Connecticut

Travel Guide

Little bit rocky moderate hike, but when to get to the top you will see several beautiful scenic views including one of the reservoir and a little hedgehog looking island in the middle, especially beautiful in a fall. There are several options for your hike, shorter and longer ones.
#stunningstructures this little gem on the Connecticut river was a surprise find!
Moderate hike, beautiful views, dog friendly.
