River Highlands State Park is tucked along the Connecticut River in Cromwell. The trailhead includes parking and an informative kiosk. Views from a 150-foot bluff provide an unusual perspective. Additional history can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Highlands_State_Park

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
