Salmon Brook Trail, Colchester CT, New Year's Eve Day

The Salmon River Trail begins at the Comstock Bridge and travels to Day Pond State Park. There is a 2.9 mile closed loop that goes to the south loop. A 2.0 leg connects the south loop back to the bridge. Total distance will be about 7 miles. The trails are well traveled with moderate climbs. We will detour to the waterfall.

You should bring a pack with snacks, water, layered non cotton clothing, hiking boots-waterproof as the bare minimum. As the event gets closer suggestions will be made based on weather and trail conditions. Consider getting microspikes if winter hiking appeals to you.

No children please. Well mannered dogs are ok.
There are no bathrooms at this trailhead.

Items you must consider for every event:

• If you have an event after a hike, please do not sign up for the hike.
• End times are only an estimate.
• The group will not adjust speed or trail route to accommodate your schedule.
• If you cannot attend an event, please cancel 48 hours before. Late cancellations are rude and take away the option for others to join the event.
• Be a good hiking human.
