Rated "moderate" in a few trail guides, I would have been tempted to call this a difficult hike the first time I hiked it (Connecticut is flat and I'm out of shape!). Heading left at the first trail junction starts you on a steady climb that eventually enters a clear cut area with a view looking down over the valley. From there, a descent through old growth woods leads to a lake where rough-skinned newts swim in the shallows.
Those who stay right at the beginning bridge enjoy a milder hike. Regardless of which direction you choose, you will encounter a banana slug approximately halfway through your hike.
