Nathan Hale State Forest

Date visited: 5/15/2021

The entrance to this state forest, is at Nathan Hale Homestead. Nathan Hale never really lived in the house, he lived at a house that was located at the same spot. The house is supposedly haunted. We stuck to the loop trail that goes through the forest named for him, and we didn't encounter any ghosts in the forest. The loop was just about five miles long, and is a typical walk in the woods.

Hop River Trail

Dates visited: 8/14/2020 & 8/20/2020

The Hop River Trail initially passes through the corner of Coventry between Bolton and Andover, and then again near Columbia. The first Coventry section is notable for the cut outs through the rock, and the second is notable for being the most open section of the trail, with a view of Rt. 66 off in the distance.

We hiked a short trail that loops around the park. It's a nice easy quick trail that provided some additional steps.

Creaser Park

Date visited: 8/3/2021

This park is on the site of an old summer camp, Camp Creaser. Now it's a town park with a pond, some mowed areas, and wooded trails. One of the main attractions is the disc golf course. There were a lot of people at the park taking part in that game. We hiked a loop trail that went around the pond and through the woods.
