Made a nice visit to the northernmost point in Connecticut yesterday.
If you plan to visit this point I recommend parking on the west side
of CT/MA route 41 almost at the state line. There is a turnout here
with a trail behind a fence marked "Closes at Sunset." This trail
follows the south bank of a stream for a hundred meters or so and then
swings away from the stream and narrows. In another hundred meters or
so, it approaches the stream again, this time at the foot of Sage's
Ravine, quite a scenic spot. At this point look for a small creek
entering from the north and cross the larger stream wherever you can
find decent footing The monument marking the northernmost point in
Connecticut is set in a large rock in the middle of the small creek,
maybe 30 meters above the main stream and maybe a hundred meters in.
The monument is a 12-inch by 12-inch granite post with inscriptions
for the Connecticut and Massachusetts, and the date "1906."
