Chester
Cockaponset State
Forest
Date visited: 3/13/2021
Not to be confused with Cockapoo (Lexi's breed), this was Cockaponset State Forest. Featured here is Pattaconk Lake. We explored some of the trails, but only walked for about a mile and a half or so. This was our 5th stop on a very busy day. The last photo is titled "Cockapoo at Cockaponset."

Other than the Cockaponset forest, there are not many hiking trails in Chester. This one is actually brand new. The trail itself is called the "Little Rock Nine Loop Trail" and was built in 2020 by William Myers, Chester Land Trust President. It's a short trail, but it's a challening one. Perhaps one of the most challenging trails we tackled. It's steep and rocky. There's a bench with an overlook at the top. The stone staircase we hit on the way down is the highlight.
