Nice easy trail, I took the yellow over to the river. I liked all the little bridges you had to go over. Once getting to the river there are picnic tables, an outhouse and fire pits. In order to get to the top where there was an overlook I had to climb an unmarked/uncleared trail straight up. It was slippery but worth it! I didn’t see any hard hiking trails but I didn’t walk the entire park just the loop to the river and back.

Nice little state park. The trails were pretty clean and free of major logs and fallen trees. There were many bridges to cross over, making it convenient to hike around the brook that runs through it(one was a little wobbly though — careful!). The trails were well marked. I recommend taking the yellow trail as it leads to a bluff with a beautiful view of the Connecticut River. The bluff has a bench where one can sit and enjoy the view or eat lunch. There is also a little picnic area below the bluff with an outhouse, one picnic table and a few charcoal grills. It’s a hard park to get lost in since it is not that large and there are several trail maps placed throughout the park.
