This cache takes you to MDC Reservoir #6 on Route 44 in West
Hartford (the "other" West Hartford Reservoir). Park at N41 47.530
W72 47.115, outside the gate. Begin your hike along the western
shore of the lake, following the wide flat dirt road. This is the
Metacomet Trail, part of Connecticut's Blue Trail system. The
terrain is flat until the end where there are some gentle grades.
There is no need to bushwhack; you will follow the blue blazes for
the entire hike. The hike is approximately five miles round
trip.
If you bring your canine hiking buddy, make sure to use a leash.
The park is open from sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset, and they
are rather strict about the hours.
If you are in the mood for a longer hike, you can continue on the
blue blazed trail to the summit of Talcott Mountain and visit the
Heublein Tower. There is an excellent multi-cache there by Alberio
that you can do along the way. For a map of the trails, visit
