Blackledge Falls Trails — Attraction in Glastonbury

So many cute hiking trails in Glastonbury, well here is another one with charm galore. Enjoy a shaded, pine needled path through the woods. Most of the trails are wide and family friendly. The map in the parking area is not super helpful if you want to find the falls. The main trail takes you directly to a stone step crossing of the river by a giant beaver dam. While it is a lovely trail over the river for mountain bikes or walking, you will not find the waterfall in that direction. You actually want to go directly into woods from the parking area to the north or the opposite side from the map. The trail to the falls crosses a few streams with stepping stones. Keep bearing to the left and up the hill. The trail is marked with blue paint with a horizontal white stripe. Then you will find the tiny falls. My guess is that the dry month of June caused the falls to be very small, so I suggest going in the spring or after several wet days to get the full falls effect. The falls are set within black mossy rocks on a 40 foot cliff. Very beautiful. We will definitely visit here...

Passed several others hikers but for a Sunday, it wasn't...

One of my favorite places to...
