Buck River Swimming Hole

01/26/25

Swimming hole looks beautiful in winter and the water is actually warmer than the air temperature (1F when I visited). The swimming hole is about midway between a bridge over the Buck River and the Sandisfield Townhall. There is a gravel pullout for one car right at the bridge and ample parking at the Townhall. The swimming hole is on the other side of the toad railing. I bushwacked down to the river just from whete the rail begins.

Campbell Falls

With it's strong pine and fresh flower scented woods you slowly forget that you're even in Connecticut. The trails aren't labeled the greatest but still can be made out. Overall this short hike doesn't have my hills..unless you go off the beaten path...which i recommen...

At 1642 feet (with a total elevation gain of 720 feet), Squaw Peak is a great spot to see both Mt Greylock along the Vermont border, and the Catskills in New York.

Hiking along the Appalachian trail I made a detour in Mt Everett State reservation. About a 2.5 mile detour lead me down to a beautiful 100ft waterfall called Race Brook falls. The waterfall felt made me feel like i was in the tropical jungle in Hawaii. Adding to the beauty of the waterfall were huge hemlock trees which was an added bonus!! If heading directly to the falls, there is a parking ...
