Bull Hill Preserve

2.4 miles; Thompson, CT
This hike was featured in a recent Peter Marteka Nature column, and since it was near a friend’s house in Thompson, I decided visited both. It’s a short hike but a gorgeous view.
Excellent Signage
I forgot the map when I headed out this morning, so took a wrong turn (on purpose, or so I thought) to get a little more mileage. Turned out to dead end on private property, so I had to backtrack. Actually, this whole hike is an out-and-back anyway, as you can see from the gps track.
Three Trees Overlook
As Mr. Marteka’s column said, the overlook is unofficially known as the Three Trees Overlook. Guess it’s obvious why.
Bench
I took a moment to take in the view from the bench. Lovely!
Lambchop Approved
Lambchop approved of the view as well. As an aside, did you know Lambchop was a girl? I had been under the lifelong misapprehension that she was a he until someone questioned it, so I looked it up. Imagine my surprise!
This was a gorgeous expansive view. Might be worth coming back in the fall, too. I met a couple coming up when I was leaving. I told them it was worth the trip, and the guy asked if they were almost there. I said, “Yes. Although ALL hikers lie about that, so you can’t really trust me!”
You can find out more about Bull Hill Preserve from this Windham Land Trust site. As always, click the image above for details about this hike and to download the gps track.
