A simple cache to mark
the parking area as a possible starting point of your
journey
From
HRWA:
The Hockanum River Watershed encompasses 9 towns and 77 square
miles in north central Connecticut. The watershed consists of
several sub-watersheds, including Charters Brook, Marsh Brook, the
Tankerhoosen River, Shenipsit Lake, Lydall Brook, Bigelow Brook and
Hop Brook. These sub-watersheds drain into the Hockanum River,
which joins the Connecticut River and eventually empties into Long
Island Sound.
East Hartford, Manchester, Vernon and Ellington all have Linear
park trails which run along the river. For more info go to
Hockanum
River Watershead Association’s Trails Page . The East Hartford
section has nice boardwalks and is broken into seven sections with
parking on either end.
For those of you FTF hounds you can grab this cache now,
however be prepared to return for a forthcoming multi. But it’s a
nice walk along the boardwalks so maybe it’ll be worth
it.
Special thanks to MS for turning me on to this trail series.
As always, enjoy the adventure!
