Easy trail, nice views, can be wet and might have to cross streams if it has rained a lot.
I should add the metacomet terminates on esther. st. I'm NewBritain...then if you walk down to west main you can do the blue blazed towards farmington.But it's a half mile or so on asphalt
Fun trail. Meets up with metacomet and you can walk half mile to blue blazed off west main st. new britain/Plainville line. This trail will take you over pinnacle mountain towards farmington! This is where the leather man's cave is. Good luck.
A little wet but that's because it rained yesterday. Wanted to get a hike in with my pup before the rain started again. Went the red trail around the lake - next time I'll go the orange up to the lookout!
We wanted to go on the larger trail, but we got there a little too late. The trail around the lake was very muddy, but quiet and relaxing. Everyone around us was pleasant too.
Easy but pretty & quiet- nice pines along both sides of the reservoir
orange trail is very good, only takes about an hour and offers some nice views and a decent workout. take it counterclockwise for the best workout.
