Metacomet trail - Part 9

This hike occurred on October 27, 2013
Trail Heads:
330 Long Bottom Rd., Southington, CT - We parked on Long Bottom Road at Roger's Orchard farm store. There is no roadside parking available at the trail head on Shuttle Meadow Road. 

600 Wigwam Rd., Berlin, CT - We parked on Wigwam Road by Ragged Mountain Preserve. 


Length/Distance: According the Connecticut Walk book, the route between the trail heads on Long Bottom Rd & Ragged Mountain was 3.0 miles. Including a portion of Ragged Mountain's trail system, according to my GPS tracking program, our route was 4.36 miles. 


Summary: We started our hike from Roger's Orchard. We did a road walk for the first half mile or so. From there, we hiked into the woods and up to an overlook of Shuttle Meadow Reservoir. The trail then headed downward towards Ragged Mountain Preserve. The trail intersected with the trail system and we took Blue-Red trail out to Wigwam Rd.
