Enders Falls and MacLean Game Reservation, CT





Trevor & I took the day off today (it's easy when you're unemployed and self-employed). We drove to Granby, CT - about an hour from our house - and went to Enders Falls at Enders State Forest. We've learned that the time of year to visit water falls is Spring not Fall. This may seem obvious to some but we've learned the hard way that all you're likely to find at some waterfalls in September is just a trickle. It's usually a great hike but if you were really counting on seeing a spectacular waterfall, you're out of luck. Anyway, we've been checking out the CT waterfalls website and decided to visit this one in Enders State Forest. According to the website it has 6 waterfalls. We're not sure how they're counting but we counted 8. It was pretty spectacular.

The B&W photo is water fall #6 (I think) where we found a sunny spot in the sun and had a great lunch. It was wonderful.

After we were done there, we drove to MacLean Game Reservation, also in Granby. We picked a 2 mile loop trail and it was great! Since the visit to the waterfall was mostly just standing around and looking it was nice to actually walk and stretch our legs. We came across the little cabin and I decided to try being an artist, again.

It was a great day. I'm looking forward to our next adventure. Maybe another waterfall!
