First we’ll hike the white pine corridor along the old road, then turn in toward the active beaver pond. Hiking along Paucatuck Brook through a hemlock forest, we’ll get to view the site of the old Bear Hole Family Resort and view archival pictures of it in its heyday. View the wonderful waterfall and the three-legged bear’s den. Our hike will continue along the reservoir until we walk across the dam to view West Springfield’s former water supply system. Then we will turn up the service road and take a trail to the parking lot, where our hike began, for a total length of about 3 miles. Mostly level hiking, except the that service road will involve a gradual upward climb. Dress for the weather, with decent hiking shoes. Bring a lunch and water.
