Normally when these Walk Hartford outings take place, they involve a handful of people, in person, and we take a break for lunch or have drinks after. The walks that I designed back in January will still happen, but differently than planned. You can “join” by watching the videos and viewing pictures of the excursions, and if you’d like, use the map of the route to go walk it on your own (or with your people).
Today’s outing is a look at Cemetery Brook, a tributary of the Park River that can be found in the southwestern portion of Hartford. You will notice a large gap between numbers eight and nine on the map. That is because the brook is buried for about one mile.
To go on this virtual excursion: In the upper left corner of the blue-gray bar is a slider with an arrow. Click on that, then click on the numbers in order for the videos and photos to make the most sense.
Here is a route that can be followed, more or less. Be aware that much of this route is off road on uneven surfaces and that there may be obstacles, like soggy ground or fences in strange places. “Respect private property.”
