  Always a great place to go with or without family to enjoy nature fishing hiking. The camp ground isn't to far either .

  Did a couple of short hikes, the woods are beautiful and there are some hikes of archaeological interest. We stumbled upon Barkhamsted's Earth Day event at the Pavilion which had a lot of nice information on invasive species, native trees and fauna, and composting, as well as a birds of prey demonstration. We were camping at American Legion State Forest, which is a great, quiet campground.

  We started the day seeing an eagle catch a fish out of the river in front of us, which is a good omen by native American standards. We decided to stay with the falls cut off pass. This is a steep climb and definitely a little scary especially if you're afraid of heights. But the views along the trail are beautiful. You climb the mountain beside a waterfall. It is peaceful and stressful all at the same time. Once we made it to the top of the falls we decided to take the blue yellow trail. This leads to three awesome outlooks over the valley. One of which we stopped and had lunch. You can watch the eagles and falcons soaring below you as they are out on patrol. We followed the blue yellow trail on a multi mile half loop. This has rocky outcroppings, quiet forests, and calm winding paths. As you come to the intersection of the green and blue yellow trail there is an old fashioned rope bridge made of wire. Being adventurous type, I decided to cross the river on the wire bridge. It takes a lot of core strength but I was able to make it across without dunking the pack into the water! Yay! Then we came across the green pond trail. This is a short walk to look out over the pond. Another great spot to stop and snack and watch the birds. Then it was back on the blue yellow trail until it meet up with the blue outrage trail. Follow the blue orange trail back to the blue trail completed the loop and put us back at the place we started. It was a good 5hr hike over a strenuous 6 miles but the views were worth the struggle!

  Great walk along one of the many trails. We did some walking along the edge of the mountain. The views were spectacular.
