recreational resource available to the public at no charge.” And for those who have already discovered the beauty of the trail, it’s a no-brainer that it’s underappreciated. “The Metacomet Trail is Connecticut’s hidden gem,” claims Ross Hart, a Plantsville resident and volunteer for the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association. “It traverses through steep trap rock to some of the best views in the state, and we are lucky enough to have it right in our backyard.” As the leaves change color and the days become shorter, we are left with little time to enjoy the natural beauty that is so easily available to us. Take the challenge, and let the Metacomet Trail lead you into tranquility and away from the hassle of schedule. Be a part of the astounding historical, natural beauty that exists all around you; all you must do is take the time. For more information on the Metacomet Trail, including hiking ideas and the natural features, an interactive map is available at newenglandtrail.org.
