The beauty of Goulds Pond is reason enough to stop by. This lake is so wonderful. A great nearby hotel is Super 8 Motel Manchester Ct, and enjoy a round of golf at Minnechaug Golf Course. There's whitewater on Roaring Brook River for all you adrenaline people, and why not head up to Powder Ridge and strap some skis to your feet.

Metacomet Trail
 | 19 miles away Gene, The trailhead at 315 and 189 is actually on Mountain Road which comes off the Rd right at the juncture. The telphone poles are blazed and the trail breaks into the woods about halfway up on the right side of the road. That is a nice section of trail although we hiked it in the rain. Happy Trails....I am having difficulty locating the trail head in East Granby at rtes. 315 and 189 that leads to south toward Penwood State Park. The trail maps say that the trail head is on Mountain Road, but there are no blue/yellow blazed trail markers on either of the two entry points into the woods. The only indication of the trail is the sign post at the bottom of the road in the three way intersection. Thanks.... |
