Cockaponset SF - Weber Woods section


Date: March 14, 2012
Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: Cockaponset SF - Weber Woods section
Town: Westbrook / Clinton
Trail Conditions: Clean and dry
Observations/Information: I decided to take a hike in Chittenden Hill Preserve which is a really nice network of trails (light blue blazed) that connects to Weber Woods out by the horse farm; I parked in the small lot on Chittenden Hill Road and hiked on pretty much all the trails and they're real nice albeit not created with sustainability in mind; the lot is located in a low area so the beginning trail has a lot of foot bridges over moist/muddy terrain, but gains elevation and branches out to many trails with some containing good climbs; they eventually merge with some unmarked trails west of the farm fields and end up on the lower green; I'm excited to work this parcel into my spring rides and it's a welcome addition to Weber Woods; didn't see anyone else and had the trails all to myself on a gorgeous day off.
