Great 2 my mile total hike. Out and back. Fairly flat, easy path along the river. Great for kids, dogs

Its beautiful (when visitors clean up after themselves). Its very disheartening to visit and the place is covered in garbage with soiled diapers and baby wipes hidden in trees. Bless the locals for going down with bags on a daily basis during the summer months, cleaning up the area and preserving its beauty for all. Its really a shame when visitors leave it looking like the morning after a keg party.

Its beautiful in the fall. Im sadden to see the pool after the bridge with no trespassing signs. People really ruin this place. In the summer time its crazy here. Avoid it.

I took my son swimming there a couple years ago and we both got sick from the contaminated water thanks to those individuals from Hartford and Holyoke using the river as a bathroom. Disgusting.

Its great for swimming and rubbing down the Rapids. Talk a nice hike and walk your dog unfortunately the slobs have come and they leave everything behind. Small amount of parking unless you chose to walk about 100 feet

Really cool place to hike a couple mile trail (or run!) and also play in the shallow river. It is swift moving and has small little falls.

Beautiful river and scenery. Great hiking trails! Parking an issue tho , not enough and half to park mile down road where cars travel to fast. Be better if limited to ct residents and if all would pick up their trash and keep it beautiful . Dumped food and dirty diapers do not belong along the riverbed, neither do gas grills!

Great place for spring and fall hikes as well as summer swimming, fishing, tubing, kayaking and canoing. Gets crowded on hot days and people are slobs tend to leave garbage. My advice is go early in the season to capture the true beauty of this section on the Scantic river.

Beautiful spot with good fly fishing. Nice trails that head up river. Move up past the river bend from the parking spot. Nice smooth flow with good area to drop a fly. Some guys have luck here on spinner rods as well.

I love this spot but really miss the picnic tables. It was nice to have someplace to sit. The nature and rapids are spectacular!

Beautiful scenery both along the river and in the woods. Very peaceful but can get crowded during the summer especially on nice weekends. I love it here year round! However wish the park was bigger; the main trail along the river only goes out about a mile.

Review №28

I really love it here. My only wish is that more people would pick up their trash when they leave so it can be beautiful for everyone to come. A volunteer organization helps keep the park clean through different events. There a couple great trails especially a 1 mile loop along the Scantic up to edge of Stockers Farm. A great place to also play in the water or take a short tube ride.
