  • Ridgelines Spring 2013
    Newsletter of the West Rock Ridge Park Association Spring 2013 Regicide Drive to summit view will open to motorists on Sat., May 25! FROM THE PRESIDENT I had the pleasure of attending Friends of Connecticut State Parks Day at the state capitol on March 20th, together with Bill Doheny, past WRRPA president and current board member, and my wife, Amy. This year is the 100-year anniversary of Connecticut state parks, and there is a wonderful centennial photo display in the Legislative Office Building concourse. We spoke with representatives from 21 other volunteer groups that support our state parks, with DEEP Commissioner Dan Esty, and with our State Senator, Joseph Crisco, who has long been a strong supporter of West Rock Ridge State Park. Senator Crisco was one of the first legislators to join a new initiative supporting state parks and has “adopted” West Rock Ridge State Park; we are hopeful that our state representatives will join him in this initiative. Legislators who adopt a park agree to work with the park’s volunteer organization and with the DEEP to publicize the park and help advocate for the needs of the state park system. State parks are one of Connecticut’s most valuable natural assets. According to a 2011 UConn Economic Study, Connecticut State Parks attract over $1 billion and support over 9,000 jobs each year. Only 74 field staff are currently available to manage the 107 State Parks, and 15 of those staff are eligible for retirement in July, 2013. Because of rescissions and continued attrition, several parks will either not be opened or will have services reduced in 2013.

It exhibits the juris prudence, science, morals, and religion of nations, and while it •warns to shun their errors, holds forth their virtues for imitation in bold relief. But where is the history more interesting and important than that of our own, "our much loved native land," that abounds in incidents more romantic, or narrative more thrilling? Buta little more than two centuries have elapsed since the first band of the " Puritan Fathers" left their native home, crossed the wild Atlantic, landed on the snow-clad rock of Plymouth, and laid the first foundation stone of New England. Within this period a change has here taken place, and in our common counfry unparalleled in the history of mankind. A great and powerful nation has arisen. The desert has been made " to bud and blossom as the rose." And •what but the sword of civil discord can arrest the giant march of improvement, (yet advancing with accelerating rapidity,) till " the noblest empire iu the reign of time" shall extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific wave.

  • Rattlesnake Mountain Farmington CT
    This Mountain Hike In Connecticut Leads To Something Awesome Looking for a mountain hike in Connecticut that’s truly unique? Then look no further! At the top of this mountain is a hidden site, unknown by many Connecticut residents. But a little piece of folk history is waiting to be rediscovered by you. So let’s get going! Rattlesnake Mountain in Farmington is a 2.3-mile hike off of Route 6. Part of the Metacomet Ridge, this short trail can be a little taxing for beginners, but it's totally worth it! Be prepared to catch some fantastic sights atop this scenic vista as you explore the rare plants and traprock ridges. An increasing number of locals have begun using the ridges here for rock climbing. They may look for intimidating, but they make for great exercise. Not to mention you'd be climbing volcanic rock. At 750 feet high and 500 feet above the Farmington River Valley, there's no shortage of views. But the coolest thing atop this mountain isn't the sight. It's Will Warren's Den! This boulder rock cave is a local historic site that will leave you breathless. Who knew Connecticut had caves quite like this! 1 The plaque affixed to the cave reads "Said Warren, according to legend, after being flogged for not going to church, tried to burn the village of Farmington. He was pursued into the mountains, where some Indian squaws hid him in this cave." It may not look like much from the outside, but the inside is a cool oasis.
