Lots of parking, nice paved walkway and small riverfront beach to walk for a bit before trees cover the majority of walkable area. There’s a path that leads back onto the paved pathway with a few picnic tables along the route.
Near the end is a footbridge leading to somewhere but I took the wooded path to the right just before it.
It’s an easy little hike with some random detritus sprinkled throughout, like the metal spring mattress, some tires and other metal contraptions. There’s also a white sink which I didn’t photograph as not to spoil all the treasures the route has in store for the next adventurer. How it arrived in the middle of the woods, one is left to imagine.
When you get to the fork in the wooded path, left leads to a dead end and some drainage pipes. As I approached, a huge heron drinking from one of them flew away. He must live nearby. If you see him, please send my apologies.

Which really bothers me because that's pretty much my back yard and years of great memories. This year im going to pull out the machete and some loppers and beat down one of the main paths going towards...

Well it's definitely a state park which I didn't know was there from what I seen. It's only one trail but it's it's a nice walk on the trail. It's a couple places you can stop and sit down I didn't didn't recall seeing any grills. Like I said it is a nice walk down the trail. I think a lot can be done to make that state park a lot better, but it is nice if you want to go walking down the trail and you can see some of the Connecticut River and spots be gray if they can clear a spot out and make like a dock where people can kind of get to see more...
