The blue blazed, Mattatuck Trail is about 42 miles long, running all the way from Wolcott to Bantam, Connecticut.

Today, my dad, JC and I decided to park at the lot off of route 63 and just take a leisurely walk to Heron Pond.

It was the perfect Fall day with crisp air and lots of bright colors!

If interested in hiking any portion of the blue-blazed trails, here is a great link to an interactive map with an optional parking overlay…
