Glocester

We took a pleasant hike through part of Durfee Hill in early March. The (unpaved) road we walked on was easy to follow, even with a bit of snow on the ground. It's not necessarily the easiest walk, but the area is certainly quiet and peaceful. The only interesting thing we saw was a man-made waterfall, though apparently there's a good place to go rock climbing somewhere inside Durfee as well. All in all a good place to go for a hike in the woods.

According to the maps I've seen (here and here) there are apparently four or five separate areas that comprise Durfee Hill. We were clearly in the largest section; I look forward to exploring the others.

What a fabulous place to spend an afternoon! We picnicked on a hill overlooking a lake, walked over a dam and then took a leisurely stroll on a quiet, wooded half-mile trail. Parking was abundant and there were bathrooms in two different places. I look forward to returning in the summer and exploring the longer trails.
