Thanks to Cathy Rice, we have a new place to explore. She loves this place and frequents it often. From what I understand, the dogs need to be on leash at the beginning, but once we are deep in the trails, they can run free. Looking forward to hiking at this location - it looks like a great place. The location is in Danbury, but it should take more than 35 minutes or so to get to from most of our homes. Hope you will all make the trip as our CT friends do for us. See you then.
