    We found this place through Yelp and are so glad we did. My teen daughter and I brought our dog and hiked most of the north loop. It had inclines and some areas with lots of roots, so I'd rate it as moderate. On the way back down, we stopped and went down to the bank of the river to dip our feet in the cool water. There were a couple of neighborhood dogs running up and down the trail and taking little forays into the water, but they were friendly, so we didn't mind. The trail and the river were all clean and well taken care of. There is an amazing covered bridge that visitors cross over from the parking lot to get to the trailhead. We saw individual and small groups of hikers, including some younger kids, so this is definitely family-friendly. We will definitely be back to try one of the other trails.

    In the river!

    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.
