It's a beautiful day, so come hike with me at Pennwood State Park in Bloomfield, CT. We chose a forest hike with amazing scenic views. To get there, we used our favorite tool, Connecticut Trail Finder, to locate the parking area and to choose our hike.
We went up the paved Pennwood Park Trail and we enjoyed the signs of early fall. Lots of crunchy leaves to step on.
As we continued, we kept checking our location on the Parks Trail Finder map just to make sure we weren't lost. Cell service worked well for us here, but results may vary.
On this spur trail, we found a gorgeous view over the treetops. It was amazing to feel the sun on our faces, sit down, rest our legs at the picnic table. If you hike past the picnic table, there's this sort of tunnel of vegetation and another awesome view on the other side, which was a really pleasant surprise.
Finally, we took the Yellow Blaze trail back into the woods. The path remains as dirt and rock on this section. It runs parallel to the paved path. Another amazing Connecticut hike was enjoyed by all today.
