Bethel’s Town Trails

February 27, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

Bethel’s Town Trails

I actually have friends that live in Bethel. Yes, it’s true! (No, not the part of my actually having friends, but that I have friends that live in Bethel. Though, to be honest, I guess it is somewhat surprising I have actual friends. So good on you for making fun of me.)

Bethel is small and rarely spoken of. Other than being the epicenter for power outages in Connecticut (or so it seems), the only other thing Bethel is known for is that it was P.T. Barnum’s birthplace.

And that’s pretty cool. Bethel does have a Land Trust with several trailed properties, so don’t take this tiny town trail list as an indication of there not being much hiking available there.

My Bethel Town Hikes:

Enchanted Trail
Meckauer Park
Franc Property
Overlook Park
