    Down the trail
    Megan K.

    You want a workout? Look no further. There's rocks, there's a waterfall, uphill, downhill, a burned out car on the trail. We did a loop in 2 hours and it was a great workout. Def go see the waterfall especially, it's so worth it!

    We came here because of the DEEP Sky's the Limit Challenge, which this year highlights "lesser known trails." And this park seems to fit the bill - what a nice hidden gem! It was a pretty cold and blustery day when we came here, but it was still rather pretty, and we had the park to ourselves. I can imagine that the park is great in the summer - there's the pond, with a beach area, numerous picnic tables sprinkled around all over, a large picnic shelter for big picnics, and some nice benches for chilling and watching the water. There's some maintenance issues that need fixing - there's a bridge over Day Pond creek that needs repair, it's a barrier to completing the Salmon River Loop Trail. The trail itself is great, with a lot of varied terrain, and a nice hike to a waterfall in the nearby Salmon River Forest. Definitely a great place to visit!

    Backledge Falls is an 80-acre park with hiking trails, a pond, and yes...a waterfall. You'll find…read moreit on Route 93 (Hebron Ave) just on the Glastonbury side of the Glastonbury-Hebron line. There's a small parking lot at the trailhead. The trail is rather thin and has an extraordinary number of rocks and tree roots, so you really have to keep your head down and watch where you're going. Streams crisscross the park, so that explains why we found three small wooden bridges to help us navigate the wetlands. Two of those bridges had no railing, and one (a Boy Scout project) had a nice Trex railing, but just on one side. It was 81 degrees yesterday, but the high tree cover kept direct sunshine off of us for pretty much our whole time out there. There are some pretty steep inclines that had me huffing and puffing and thank the lord we had our hiking poles for balance and leverage. We walked most of the Blue and White trail, which is marked, but the paint is fading and in need of a refresh. We met around half a dozen groups of hikers, and each group was nicer and friendlier than the one before.

    It was a beautiful late November day and perfect for a hike. Blackledge Falls is right in town…read morethough I've only been one other time after a snowfall. The hike is fairly easy with a small incline but a lot of small rocks on the "blue-white". As it was November, leaves covered the trail and made some spots slippery. The falls themselves were disappointing ... more like a dribble than a falls but it was still a nice walk in the woods. Perhaps springtime after the thaw is the better time to come if seeing a waterfall is your goal.
