톨랜드 카운티 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Nestled within the forests of Glastonbury, not far from the Hebron line, Blackledge Falls is formed as the Blackledge River careens over an abrupt cliff and plunges into a shallow pool below. The Blackedge River spans more than 16 miles, rising in Bolton and meandering through Connecticut’s eastern uplands before reaching its confluence with the Salmon River in Colchester. When it courses through Glastonbury’s Blackledge Falls Park, however, it is still a modest woodland brook in its fledgling state. But despite limited water volume, the 25-foot freefall plunge of Blackledge Falls produces a striking aesthetic that is actually somewhat rare amongst the waterfalls of Connecticut. https://connecticutwaterfalls.com/blackledge-falls/

Very beautiful, peaceful waterfall, unfortunately very little water.

From here you can take the Colchester Spur Trail. The area surrounding the trail played a small but fascinating role in the American Revolution. Look for markers mentioning skirmish sites and troop movements.

The green space to the north of this trail is the grounds of the Skungamaug Fish and Game Club, a group devoted to hunting and fishing.

Birch Hill Road Open Space West is a nature reserve southeast of Grayville Falls, situated right next to the Air Line State Park Trail. Undeveloped, forested land covers the area between the town's many residential developments, adding to the rural character of this beautiful area.

Day Pond State Park is centered around Day Pond, which used to power the old sawmill on the property. There are now hiking trails around the lake and the rest of the park property. Along with hiking trails, there are educational nature trails and mountain bike trails, so be sure to read trail signs and trail markers at intersections.

Day Pond Brook Falls is a cascading waterfall. They reach upwards of 40 feet total, but the tallest singular drop is 10 feet. The falls are relatively unknown since the trail was only blazed back in 2010. There is a short spur trail leading to a viewing area at the base of the falls.

Completely gravel but mostly compacted. Loose rocks in some areas.
