THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER'S HIKE.

Discover this approximately 8-mile loop trail in Beacon Falls, Connecticut. Starting from Beacon Falls Town Recreation Field parking lot, we will eventually climb up to Toby's Rock lookout for a spectacular view and then loop around the Naugatuck State Forest area.
The first part of the hike is considered a moderate route, but once we reach the Falls, it will become a lot more challenging!

Rated B++ for difficulty and distance. You will be required, in several spots, to be walking and climbing over rocks that may be wet as we traverse along Spruce Brook.
Hopefully, the hike should just take an average of 3-1/2 hours to complete. No pets allowed.

Lunch at Oxford House Tavern afterwards (optional). 441 Oxford Road, Oxford, CT.

The pickleball courts are normally wide open, if anyone has enough energy left over!!
