Bluff Point, Connecticut

Bluff Point is such a little gem in Eastern Conneticut. Whenever I go during the summer, I always see people with their bycicle and kayaks.

There are picnic tables near the parking area for visitors to enjoy their meal and the scenery. There's also a short nature trail that leads to the tip of Bluff point where you can look out to the Atlantic Ocean. 

This is such a great place to be when you are feeling down and just want to relax and stroll along by the water.

It only takes about 30 minutes to get to the tip of Bluff Point. The trail is relatively flat and wide so there's no way you would get lost.

I don't think people from other states would actually come here simply because it's such a small nature preserve and there's really only one trail.

But if you are stuck in traffic on I-95 near exit 87 or 88 in CT and you are road raging, maybe you should take the exit and find Bluff point so you can take a breather.

A secret trail lead us to a small waterfall...

 

Dear friends,

If you live in the Tri-state area and would love to spend some quality time with nature, I strongly recommend visiting Minnewaska State Park near New Paltz.

Even if you are out of shape (like me), there are tons of trails to choose from. And trust me, you can definitely do the longer trail (6-hr) without much problem. :)

My friends and I are going back for our second hike next Saturday.

So what are you waiting for? See you there! :D

Nice view from the top! We're half way there! 

Note:
If you are a hiking beginner like me, make sure to bring a big bottle of water and stay hydrated! Bring some yummy dry snacks that are easy to carry and not too heavy (like nuts and jerky). Fruits are fine too (I brought a banana and an apple with me the last time I went). Prepare a small sandwich if you are doing a longer trail just in case you get hungry half way up the trail!

And seriously, wear sneakers or hiking shoes! Who goes hiking with flip flops????

xoxo
