뉴헤이븐 카운티 주변 최고의 반려견 동반 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

There are 2 ways to tackle the MTB trails at Crescent. You can do the lower trails, by heading up the hill from the parking lot. There's about 6.5 miles of trails on the lower section that criss-cross, but can be done with little replication. Then there is upper Crescent. You leave the parking via the road and get on the trail next to the goat farm. From there, you take 3 lefts as you climb to the top of Sunset rock. There are another 6-10 miles of trails at the top, which can then be combined with the lower trails to make a mega loop. Plan on spending over 90 minutes doing the upper section, compared to about 60 minutes doing the lower section. The upper section can be very technical in spots. Don't follow the blue trail as it's for hiking only and is not navigable by bike (unless you really want to hike a bike). MTB trails have a red paint or pink tape marker and can be very tough to follow in the fall.

Crescent Lake is a popular lake in the park with the same name. You get great views of the water as you ride along Shuttle Meadow Road. The lake is also a popular spot to kayak and fish.

In this area, you'll find a perfect spot for relaxation amidst nature. The area by the lake is specially beautiful and there are many trails for you to explore the park, especially in the southern part of the lake.

Bradley Mountain is a 700-foot summit along Metacomet Ridge. This is as much a cliff overlook as it is a mountain summit, but the dense vegetation makes you feel like you're just in the middle of the woods.

The Racebrook Tract has a size of 410 acres that is split between Orange and Woodbridge. The four multi-use trails in the area lead through forests, wetlands, and meadows. If you are lucky, you can even spot some wildlife like different reptiles, amphibians or birds.

At this location, you can come across a wide variety of wildlife, including swans and turtles. You have the opportunity to kayak, fish, or simply dip your feet in and enjoy this lake. Dogs, especially, adore this place.

The Metacomet Trail stretches along the rocky basalt ridge of the same name, providing breathtaking views in many places. At this point, you'll look down on gleaming Crescent Lake. The Metacomet Ridge, by the way, was named after an Indian chief who died fighting British settlers in New England.
