Autumn leaves crunch underfoot throughout the shady hiking trails at Indian Rock Nature Preserve. The large oak trees provide robust canopy boasting striking shades of yellow, orange and scarlet.
A bright red covered bridge greets hikers on the beginning of their journey. A small observation deck is located just past the bridge, allowing hikers an intimate view of the surrounding area.
The hiking trails encircle a large lake with several docks that are well-used by swimmers in the summertime. As you travel along the trails, you’ll see dragonflies skimming the water, frogs hopping by the shore and squirrels gathering food for the long winter ahead.
In the woods are two authentic Wigwams, the pebble house and a quiet area to sit by the lake.
The trails at Indian Rock Nature Preserve are not open to the public.
Temperatures in the mid-60s this week will provide warm conditions for leaf peeping during this peak week.
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access
