Gates to Heaven . . . Or so it appeared to me. This bridge was originally built in 1785. It’s one of three covered bridges that remain in Connecticut.

CT: New Haven County-Southford Falls (Winter 2021)

As I am generally not a fan of the winter, I have had to do my research to continue my outdoor adventures in the cold. I had a gut feeling Southford Falls would be one of the locations I would enjoy. This state park is located on the line between Southbury and Waterford, hence theContinue reading “CT: New Haven County-Southford Falls (Winter 2021)”
