Shepaug river waterfall Roxbury Connecticut
Shepaug river waterfall Roxbury Connecticut
This was a really nice surprise-it's more then a hiking trail, it's a historical 19th century iron mine site.  Not far from the parking lot, is the location of where the mine used to be-pictured are the roasting ovens.  There is also a large furnace and several signs to learn about the mine and what the town used to look like in 1874.  The trail goes along the old Donkey Trail that was used to bring rock down from the quarry.  There are two main trails-about 6 miles total (3.5 miles for the Mine Hill Preserve and 2 mile loop for the Carter Preserve).  There are also several miles of tunnels that are no longer accessible and are gated off with Bat Cages to allow bats to get in and out of the caves.  Check out roxburylandtrust.org for historical information and trail maps.
An old airfield that was part of the Roxbury Airport. Some beautiful planes left behind as well..

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
Room was spotless, staff were friendly. The only thing that I disliked about the experience was the noise coming from other rooms. Also there was no ice dispenser on the 2nd floor so you had to walk all the way back to the lobby or 3rd floor to get a bucket of ice. They could install better shower ...
