Orenaug Park
A short hike to a very tall tower!
If you start your hike from Park Road, you will pass through two stone pillars that mark the start of the trail. These pillars contain stones from all 50 states!
Follow the red trail to reach the fire tower. You will ascend steadily for a half mile before reaching the tower. The tower is quite tall and we took the steps slowly and carefully! The tower offers beautiful views and breezes from the top.
You can follow the red trail back to your car, or explore some of the other trails in this small park. A trail map is HERE, and information on the history of the park and the fire tower is HERE.
Rich Farm Ice Cream in Oxford, CT will be directly on the way to this park from many starting points in the greater New Haven area. A stop off before or after your hike is a great addition to this outing!
