The GPS address "1 Depot Road, Groton, CT" takes you to this point. Once on Depot Road drive 0.7 miles, passing an industrial park and bearing right under a railroad bridge, until you reach the parking area. We will meet at end of parking area, at trailhead. Look for the billboard with map of park trails that is adjacent to some picnic tables.
Trip Report/Photos
It was a perfect day for a easy hike and then a dip in the Sound. The Sound easca bit agitated, so it felt like open ocean sometimes. And the salinity level was high. But a quick swim was so refreshing after sweating in hot sun.
