It’s been a while since I’ve been out on a good hike and
today I went back to a favorite spot. I
was looking for a good loop hike and went back to Macedonia Brook State Park in
Kent. The Macedonia Ridge trail is a
nice loop that offers a little of everything, from good views, to rock
scrambles, and some gentle trail walking.
I haven’t hiked here in about 4 years and was looking forward to a good
hike. I got a late start and arrived at
the parking area at 10am. It was a
beautiful day to hike with low humidity and temps in the 70’s. I always hike this loop counter clockwise as
there is some steep rocky areas that I would rather not have to go down.
At just about the 2 mile mark you arrive back at the road and make your way through the states campground. There is a water source if you need to refill. I opted to cut out a short section and road walked to where the trail re-enters the woods and starts climbing up the other side of the valley. This climb leads to Cobble Mtn. and some really nice views to the west.
After enjoying a water break and some snacks, I continued on, passing some more views, and eventually making my way back to the car. Total for the day was 5 miles in about 3 hours.
