We parked one car at the trail marker on Paper Mill Rd in Killingworth and one at Chatfield Hollow Park on Rte 80. 4.7 miles

Today we did the Chatfield Trail. It is a great trail. We really enjoyed the rock scrambles and caverns and believe the trail to be “Mountain Goat approved!”

There are “ankle breakers” in the middle of the trail in various locations, so look out for those. I was flung by one that could have led to an ugly fall.

It really is a fun trail, good mix of gentle inclines for some pretty views, giant rocks, a stream, and pretty trees. There is a section of the trail that looks like they are doing tree conservation and planting saplings.

We couldn’t resist taking a side trail of yellow to climb through some rocks.I later learned this was called “Fat Man Squeeze” — and you can see why! I encourage everyone taking the blue trail to do this. Two caverns later and you are right back on blue.

Adventurers included: Dana, Bryan, Jes, Dogo & Arrow
