Beautiful area, you really feel the serenity of it. Wish there was a stream but that's just nit picking. Great hike.

This is a great park. I'm hesitant to give it this many stars because then more people will go. It is great that it is less crowded than some of the other parks in the area. The views aren't as Grand as at talcott mountain, but the quiet in the woods is much better.

Great place for a hike and mountain biking

Peaceful, relaxing, quiet, beautiful. This is a great hidden gem away from the overcrowded Penwood ( and Hublein Tower trail south of that) just to the south. Some of the trail sections are borderline overgrown due to lack of use, but the reward is you and your group will be the only people liking the trails pretty much any given time.nnI would say anybody over the age of six can manage the trails, the cliff trail is so named only because it takes you to a beautiful ledge where it meets up with metacomet.nnI probably walked through 15 or 20 spider webs on the way up, which tells me the cliff trail does not get much use, this was on a Sunday just before noon. There were no evidence of footsteps or prints on the trail, so while you will occasionally hear a jet overhead on the approach to Bradley, you probably won't hear or see anyone else until you reach the Metacomet.nnThere is a beautiful wide meadow just about the parking area that's perfect for a picnic, or even to toss a frisbee, football, or baseball around. Hard to believe such a quiet and beautiful place is so near civilization.nnHighly recommended!!
