|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
We entered Connecticut from Rhode Island on Route 138 at the Exeter/Voluntown line. We took a left on Green Fall Road (sign), then found the first parking area we came to at the pond.
We didn't have to pay a fee. I'm not sure if there is one in the summer. |

| Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
There are bridges at the inlet and outlet of the Green Fall River at the pond. The outlet has a big dam. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The trail is in good shape and it is blazed with blue/orange dot rectangles. Part of the loop also has blue blazes from other trail(s) in the Connecticut blue blazed trail system. The trail makes a loop around the pond, 1.85 miles long. Part of the loop route around the pond is on the dirt road. There are a whole lot of other trails to explore in this forest too. Probably the best known feature in the forest is Mt. Misery, elev. 441 ft. |

| Comments: |
This is a beautiful place with a lot of recreational possibilities. It's not a busy season so we just saw a few people fishing and kayaking, and one tent in the campground. The summer must be busier but it's a big place in a lightly settled area so it probably has areas that are not crowded even then. |
