Ratlum Brook camp area


Swimming hole

This is a great spot, at 2.9 miles in. I should have brought my swimsuit. As it was, the spot had a nice breeze and was remarkably free of bugs. I stopped to eat lunch here - there's even a picnic bench.

According to the Walk Book, this Northern Region of the Tunxis Trail is "one of the steepest, most remote, and least used of the system." I won't vouch for steepest or most remote, but it sure was quiet. I didn't see a soul the entire hike.
