A beautiful day so we headed out to see if we could find the Hawkins Trail.  Thanks to our GPS and a Facebook comment we found it  The trail is about 2 1/2 miles long and it’s a loop trail.  There were lots of hikers and mountain bikers on the trail.  The trail is still under construction and it looks like there are lots of places to explore.  Will definitely go back and hike again.

While we were at Lock #5, we started talking to a couple and they mentioned that they had just come from seeing a waterfalls on the Battenkill.  They said it was really pretty with the colors of the leaves.  We asked for directions and headed there.  Well when we reached the end of Windy Hill Road and didn’t find a waterfalls – we reached for our cell phone and googled waterfalls on the Battenkill.  We finally found the parking lot for the falls.  The sign for the falls is back in the woods – no wonder we didn’t see it the first time.
