Haley Farm State Park

 A lovely hike today at Haley Farm. When I first moved to New England this was one of the 1st beautiful hikes I was introduced to! My painting "Mind of the Forest" came directly from my frequent hikes here. If you have not been to Haley, I suggest you pay her a visit! She is very peaceful and calming. This trail also connects to Bluff Point State Park if you are looking for a day hike. I'll be visiting all my favorite hiking spots before I leave in October, and will post the info and directions :~)  Enjoy!
