4.2 miles; Voluntown, CT Haven’t been on this trail since the drunk hunters way back when, and I missed it. Glad to be back. This is an even better look at the newly-installed boardwalk along a particularly treacherous section of the trail along the side of the ravine. I especially like the log ladder leading […]
