Very unknown waterfall that makes for great exploring!

Accessing Glen Falls may be a little tricky at first. Parking will be very minimal, you will park on Grist Mill Ln. Hop onto the road and you will see the trail map on the left side. The adventure begins when you cross the street and go through the gate with the yellow blaze symbol. Keep following the blaze for about 1/3 mile. The beauty from the woods to the waterfall makes for a great adventure!

Higby Mountain Trail

The popular route for this hike is to park your car at the base of the trail which is located right before merging onto 91-S in Middlefield, CT. The parking lot does seem to get crowded mid-day, especially if the weather is nice! The beginning of the hike is mostly flatter land and an incline will begin. Be careful of the rocks! Some are not secured into the ground, but as this trail has been...

Blackledge Falls

Although the park contains hiking trails, a pond and a streambelt, the primary draw of this parcel of land is the 25 foot waterfall. The falls flow varies depending on the volume of precipitation, from a trickle in the dry months to a three-pronged vertical drop after some consistent snow melt or rain fall. Blackledge Falls Park by itself is an easy, family-friendly hike or single track mounta...
