Durham
Mica Ledges
Preserve
Date visited: 11/5/2021
At the end of Cream Pot Road in Durham, is a small parking lot and a trail head that leads to a network of trails. We hiked the "Mica Ledges Loop", which includes part of the blue blazed Mattabasett Trail, the Mica Ledges Trail and Selectman's Path. Despite the name, the trail doesn't get all that close to the ledges. That is probably a good thing, because Lexi gets way too curious at times. We stopped along the path to take pictures at Pyramid Rock and Whitney Lake, as well as some other spots along the trail. The foliage was still pretty nice in this part of the state for the first week in November.
Millers Pond State
Park
Date visited: 2/12/2021
We tackled this on a winter day. Most of the path we followed was well worn down and easy to traverse, but a portion of the trail wasn't packed down so we had to trudge through. The dogs didn't seem too bothered by it. The trail actually starts in Haddam, but the majority of it is located in Durham. The pond itself was frozen over and covered with snow, so you can't really tell it's actually there.
