Good simple food, and good serviceExcellent ribs, and chicken, however the salad bar is below average
It was our first covered bridge in the Northeast. I am all about the photography and I couldn't wait to see all the covered bridges...this was my first of many.
A plain, simple country restaurant with very reliable food. The staff is always friendly. A good salad bar is included with each main course. Roast beef on Friday and Saturday nights is excellent, but go early as it is very popular.
I don't hike much but I was able to hike here...nice scenery and not too rocky! I didn't see all of it. We hiked for about an hour and that was easy to handle.
The covers bridge is really great especially for those of us,that have never crossed one. The rushing falls and quiet tree-lined road leading to and from the bridge make for a picturesque event.
Drive through the bridge, then get out of the car for a few minutes, park and climb down the bank to the water to watch it rush past you.
This was our second time walking this trail, and we can do it again and again. This area has so amazing scenic views, places to visit and vegetation depending on the season that it seams it always has something new to see!We were 3 families with our children, from teenagers to kids. All of them had an amazing time going up and down the trails. It all starts at the old bridge, then the falls and there the trail starts. It has some elevations so you have to take your time if you have kids with you. Take some snacks and water (don't drink from the river, we were told it's not safe…)Once you are at the summit, go a little further following some arrow sings and you'll get to an amazing place where you can rest having a great view of the Housatonic river.
Charming bridge over the Housatonic River just a few feet away from the Kent, CT Section of the Appalachian Trail. Perfect photo spot!
i go there every year and not get tired of going thru the town go down River road the peace and tranquility nothing to do but really pretty in the fall time- watch the trees turn
Although the Appalacian trail runs through here there is a path that swings all the way back around that is mostly flat and tended to. Unfortunately you are no longer able to swim here but there are plenty of places to lounge on the banks of the river.
