Chaugham's

People’s State Forest (Chaugham’s)

Sunday, May 4th, I celebrated Mother’s Day by going on a hike with my mother in People’s State Forest (Chaugham’s, as I’ve always known the hike), in Barkhamsted, CT. This is another fun place to hike. I hadn’t been here in some years, so I ended up parking in a different spot from where I remember being used to. The trail combination we went on was pretty muddy at parts due to the recent storms and a little overgrown in places, but overall, it was very manageable. We hiked about six miles altogether, three in and three out. We sadly had to turn back only a third of a mile before reaching Chaugham’s Lookout in order to make it to our dinner reservation on time. No ticks this time, at least.
