The teardrop-shaped access road at White Memorial's Point Folly Campground on Bantam Lake is once again the glorious domain of walkers and hikers after camping season ended on Columbus Day earlier this week. 🍂 The fall foliage is heading toward its peak, framing a quiet loop path of approximately .75 miles that's blanketed with fallen leaves and offers beautiful lake views all the way around the Point Folly peninsula. There's also a viewing platform looking over Kilbourne Cove where the Bantam River exits the lake, a prime spot for great waterfowl viewing. 🦆 📍 Point Folly is located along North Shore Road and there's a dirt parking area right off the road, or additional parking across the way at the @whitememorialcc Point Folly marina and camp store lot.

𝐇𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 🍂🥾 The White Memorial Apple Hill Trail is the perfect Autumn destination for a moderate-level hike that rewards the effort with stunning views of the fall foliage, Bantam Lake, and CT's western hills from a wooden viewing platform. Apple Hill is located above East Shore Road in Morris and there are two ways to get to the summit and viewing platform: Experience the longer trail and the Cat Swamp spur, or seek out a "hidden" second access area with a mini parking lot where it's a short uphill walk to the summit. From the northern entrance off East Shore Road, the Apple Hill Trail is a 1.5-mile journey (3 miles total out and back) to the summit), per White Memorial. From the southern entrance closer to Route 109 in Morris, it is just a half-mile up to the summit (1 mile round trip). Our hike was a hybrid favored by many Apple Hill fans:: 🚶‍♂️ We parked at the northern entranced and followed the long trail on the way up, taking the spur to admire Cat Swamp. ⛰️ We lingered on the summit viewing platform to enjoy the colorful Autumn vistas. 👟 Then we took the short trail back down to East Shore Road and walked along the road back to the car to complete a loop that totaled just over 3 miles. Apple Hill is one of many unforgettable hikes across White Memorial’s 40+ miles of trails and 4,000 acres of protected wilderness spanning Litchfield and Morris. 📍 Plan your hike on the @whitememorialcc website at whitememorialcc.org (Look for the trail maps page) 📸 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙊𝙘𝙩. 10. #VisitLitchfieldCT #LitchfieldCT #WhiteMemorial #ConnecticutFoliage #CTHikes #LitchfieldHills #NewEnglandAutumn #ExploreCT #CTBucketList #OptOutside #FallInNewEngland taken in Apple Hill Summit by @visitlitchfieldct

There may not be a more perfect Autumn walk than the Little Pond Boardwalk Trail at White Memorial, where the painted landscape was lovely Sunday afternoon in the crisp October air. 🍂🍁 But take note: The boardwalk is flooded in several places right now, so Wellies (or the equivalent waterproof boots) are recommended over sneakers or low-rise hiking shoes! 🥾💧 "The Boardwalk" is an elevated 1.2-mile wooden walkway (black & white-blazed) that lets visitors explore the vibrant wetland environment around Little Pond. The trail crosses the Bantam River in two locations and offers prime viewing for migrating waterfowl and autumn wildlife. You can access the trail off Whites Woods Road, just north of the intersection with Bissell Road. While the Little Pond Boardwalk Trail may be the best-known @whitememorialcc hiking destination, there are more than 40 miles of trails across 4,000 acres of conserved land to discover in Litchfield. 🔗 Explore the trail maps at whitememorialcc.org #VisitLitchfield #LitchfieldCT #CTFoliage #WhiteMemorial #ConnecticutOutdoors #ExploreCT #NewEnglandFall #WhiteMemorialConservationCenter #LitchfieldHills #CTOutdoors taken in White Memorial Boardwalk by @visitlitchfieldct
