Old Furnace State Park — Attraction in Killingly

I Wasn't To Fond At The Very Beginning of this Hike I deffently would not rate this Very High Because Of the Fact That There were No Marking On the Trees,what so ever so I DONT know how anyone could find there way around this forest, you could not tell were you were going..!!! Very True The Trails Ought to be Marked in a.Clear Fashion so you don't get lost during this Hike But I Must Say that Climbing up to the top of the cliffs was a challenge.we took the more diffecut way up....The Viewsbat the Very Top of this site was Unbelievable In a greatly fashion. But anytime when you have to go up a large Hill to get up to the very top any view for that matter is gonna be great... I thought that this is a nice place to visit but you know like I said in the very beginning no marked trails so I think that needs to be more implemented. And there needs to be more maps stimulated along the way.. So for that I would give this 3.6...There was a lot if Flat trails Along the way it wasn't too impressed the only thing I was impressed 4 was the mountain part...

A very nice and easy three mile hike over tree roots and some rocky sections up 200 feet to some nice views of the pond tucked in a small valley from the cliffs. The pond has been mostly taken over by invasive weeds giving it a patchwork effect from above. Be careful following the light blue tree markers as there are many side trails. There are no markings leading from the main trail to the cliffs on the left as there are a few overlooks along the way. Be very careful with children as there are no railings in place and it's a long drop from the edge. Some graffiti on the ledges distract from the beauty of the cliffs but the view and lack of other hikers crowding the area make this a great local walk. Will be going again to see the fall foliage although many of the hemlocks have died leaving a void. Parking is available in a safe, open view lot with the trailhead...

Great cliff for the area we live in and it can be one hell of a hike if you take the right paths. If you want to see the view fast you can take a very direct trail that will bring you to the overlook. The family had a blast climbing to the top and the view was gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the area and it's hard to believe a spot like this is close to home. Can't wait to go back in the fall and get some pictures of the leaves! Be sure to check this place out, don't...
