Description:
This beautiful park is surrounded by a paved loop. From this loop you can explore the red green and yellow trails that offer some technical challenges and spectacular views. Be extremely cautious on the yellow trail as it travels along the edge of some extremely dangerous cliffs.

Directions to the trail:
From I-91, head West on Route 291 which turns into Cottage Grove Road at the Blue Hills Ave. intersection. Turn right onto Bloomfield Ave. and then left onto Mountain Road. At the end of Mountain Road, turn right onto Route 185 (Simsbury Road). Follow Route 185 for about 2 miles to a flashing light at the crest of a hill. Turn right into the park entrance here.
