Hike Name

Franklin Lakes Nature Preserve (10/26/2015)

We first hiked around this gorgeous lake back in the spring of 2012. At that time the preserve had basically just opened and the only trail was the one that circled the reservoir. Since then bridges have been added to connect the islands in the northern part of the reservoir. There is also a connecting trail into the High Mountain Preserve. Today, with fall foliage at its absolute best, we circled the reservoir, as we did in 2012, but also did the new Island Bridges trail (twice). The leaves were spectactular!

Total distance hiked today was 2.4 miles in 90 minutes.
