Upton State Forest

I did the loop trail. It is nice, I think it's 3 miles long. Trails are very well marked. Only complaint was that there was a lot of dog poop on the trail. Disappointing as a dog owner walking my own dogs. I had to pick up a lot of extra poop. Not sure if the excess poop was because I went a week or so after a lot of the winter's snow had melted.. or if it's because there weren't trash barrels available when I looked. I don't expect barrels on the trails but in the parking lot would be nice, especially since there's public parks buildings there, so clearly someone works there regularly enough to empty a trash barrel. Also, I saw some people with tents set up to camp out. I'm sure they'd like to have trash barrels too. I don't think the people who enjoy these trails want to pollute their parks. This was only my first time here so I'll update when I check it out at other times of the year.
