Town Hall Trail - East Hartford

I hike a bit more of the Hockanum Linear Trail today in East Hartford. Like the last hike I did just east of here its lots of long continuous boardwalks. I hiked to the spot where I ended on my previous hike coming from the east...

You start out behind the town hall and skirt along a flood containment dike a bit before descending to the lake level. The weather was decent: sunshine and a bit warmer than it's been :-)

The Dike

Hockanum River Linear Park (East Hartford)

It was a very cold and windy day but being at least sunny, I decided to hike more of the Hockanum River trails - this time in East Hartford. I started from the south end of Martin Park.

Damages

There were a few spots where the boardwalk was damaged (but passable).

Reaching the Lake

Strange this lake has no name (I checked quite a few online map resources and never found a name!).

The sun was directly blasting its light at the camera :-(

Heading Back

It was starting to get dark so once I saw the lake, I turned around and headed back.

There were a few benches along the way

I saw three deer but they started to run when I snapped this photo :-(

Late Afternoon Hike - EoK

I took a late afternoon hike in the parcel east of Keeney (south of Howe). Trails are looking good - defined enough and ready for the the winter ahead...
