Creaser Park

Taking the red trail east follows a handicap accessible section as it heads towards the pond which is great for bird watching and has a small beach on the southern edge.  Beyond the pond is the Skungamaug River, while shallow it was flowing swiftly.  There were numerous fishing trails that provide windows onto the river.

The red trail heads into the forest and quickly splits to stay on the inner red loop or the outer blue.  When I took the blue trail is skirts the backs of private property and confusingly splits into two blue blazed trails.  I took the left for a few hundred feet until a pair of dogs came down to greet me from the house up the hill.  They seemed to be all bark and no bite, but a heads up for anyone who has problems with dogs.  The blue trail slowly gains elevation as it heads towards Wrights Mill Road.  The trail narrows and winds through and over rocks before heading back towards the cottages.

The inner yellow trail passes through an open area behind the cabins and winds over a seasonal stream up to the inner red loop.  The red loop is a quiet walk along the wooded hillside and passes a vernal pool as it returns to the Skunkamaug River.
