Hartman Park — Attraction in Lyme

Great scenery and history! I only walked for about 1.5 miles so I'm sure there's much more to see. I deliberately went for the "Cemetery" which I wish had a documented history (a couple other sites had a marker and posted a narrative of their history). Also some of the trails were hard to pass either flooded and muddy or hard to see through the brush. However all trails I was on were very well marked and easy to follow otherwise.

There's parking off the main road, but also more parking in 2 other areas a little in, away from the main road. It does fill up on the weekends so you may have to be creative with the...
