Southford Falls State Park
State park
👍👍 Wonderful hike! Quite a few hills. It was a great loop. We even got to experience a ton of frogs chirping in an area a little off the path. A beautiful sound. Parking was easy to find and had plenty of space. The tower was a cute midpoint. A little nerve wracking for the height adverse of our group....
