Dogs Leashed

State of CT says all dogs should be leashed but low volume in the area means most people don't.

Description

Accessed via a hard left halfway up the CCC Fire Tower Road (or Goat Path) this is best ridden counterclockwise. The trail incorporates a loop at the top of Walnut and overlaps the upper section of Back Behind before returning to On the Rocks. It includes some challenging rock sections along the way.
