Highlawn Forest Trails
Middletown/Rockfall, CT
In addition to beautiful, level trails, this preserve has two vernal pools located within 0.2 miles of the parking lot. This means, if you are bringing any kind of equipment with you (nets, viewing scopes, buckets...) this is the place for you!
Directions:
Trail head: CFPA Headquarters, 16 Meriden Road, Rockfall
Starting at the trail head, follow the main trail for about 800 ft. to the first vernal pool (left hand side of trail) or 1000 ft. to the second vernal pool (right hand side of trail).
