Our first trip here was a beautiful hike in the fall around Taylor Pond, via the Taylor Pond Trail and Julia's Trail. Of course, the pond was almost completely dried up when we visited. The fall foliage made for a wonderful backdrop for the hike. We came back a second time, over a year later and hiked a different trail, called the Weigold Trail. It is on the other side of the park from the trails we did previously. This one features a pretty good hill. We went up the path closest to the parking lot, which wasn't as steep as the other side of the loop on the way down.

This Joshua's Land Trust property is a pretty basic walk through the woods. We hiked the yellow trail. There's a path that goes down a pretty long hill to a loop that goes out near a stream. We added part of the red trail out to the bridges over the streams, just to add a little more distance. We hiked about a mile and a half here total.

This is another Joshua's Land Trust trail in the towns of Ashford and Willington. The majority of the trail is in Ashford, but a small section dips into Willington.

This wasn't a planned trip. We were headed to northern Rhode Island, but the weather forecast changed drastically from when we left, and we wound up changing plans on the fly. We parked near the State Forest sign off Route 190 in Union, and walked down the dirt road. The sun came out, so the weather was fine. The walk was kind of boring, but it was peaceful and quiet. We walked about a mile and a half before turning around.
