A Summer Hike - 24 Carrot KitchenRecently I wrote a post about my trip to Long Island and my thrift store and yard sale escapades.  Well, at the end of my stay, I went on a fun hike that meandered through some beachy shrubs and ended up at the beach.  This is my kind of hike and it was a beautiful day.

A Summer Hike - 24 Carrot KitchenTo get to Long Island from Massachusetts, I drive to New London, CT and take the Cross Sound Ferry across the Sound to Orient Point.  The ferry ride is about 1 hour 20 minutes and I take my car.  You can also walk on as a passenger.

A Summer Hike - 24 Carrot KitchenI did not realize this trail existed until a few years ago when we had some time to kill before our ferry departed going back to New England.  We were walking around and found the trail head.  It is literally right across the street from the ferry terminal.  Look at the wild raspberries growing along the trail.

A Summer Hike - 24 Carrot Kitchen When I was a kid we lived on the Sound for about a year.  My family had buoys out in the water where we caught lobsters!  Most of what we caught went back in the water as the lobsters were too small.  In the following years, we learned how to fish, catch clams with our toes, find mussels and even eels (I never ate those).   Check out the teepee someone made.  This is a great place to stop and have some trail mix.  I have two recipes on my site that are great for hikes, one is 5 Minute Trail Mix and the other is Monkey Munch.

Most people prefer the bay or ocean for swimming.  Usually, the water in the Sound was very cold.

I hope you liked this post.  Enjoy your day!
