Pine Knob Loop & Appalachian Trail Hike

The trail is located in the Housatonic Meadows State Park and Housatonic State Forest on the west side of the Housatonic River. A short, but still challenging trail, it coincides with the Appalachian Trail for 0.7 mile of the loop's 2.5-mile length and features beautiful vistas over the river valley.  Elevation gain: 700 ft.

The hike will last about 2 hours.

After the hike, we can all get a bite at the nearby "Wandering Moose Café” which is about 3 miles further north on RT 7 making a left on the historic Covered Bridge into the town of Cornwall Bridge, CT.
