When going just about anywhere in Hartford County I find myself stopping by Collinsville CT. It’s a small town with so many activities within such a short proximity.
Farmington River Trail
I first discovered the town as part of biking the Farmington River trail. I have read they when have a free bike rental here! The trail is also great for a winter walk. Close and closer.
Farmington River
I also have kayaked down the Farmington River. I literally could not even see that part of the river as it was ice covered in a blanket of snow. While I have a kayak you can also rent here at Collinsville Kayak.
Collinsville Antiques
Each time I come into town I stop and take a picture of Collinsville Antiques store from different angles. . . Close and closer, front and back.
I go in periodically as they have aisles and aisles of fun antiques to see.
The view of the original Collins Axe Company along the Farmington River always takes me back in time.
I often grab a bite at LaSalle Market and Deli on the Main Street.
I dedicated a blog to the antiques store and share the link below.
