Berlin Weekend Guide: Fall Hiking On Ragged Mountain As The Town Calendar Takes A Break

BERLIN, CT — With the Berlin Fair wrapped up last month and no public arts or dining events posted in town for Thursday, Oct. 8, through Sunday, Oct. 11, this Columbus Day weekend is a good one for getting outdoors on Berlin's best-known ridge.

This Weekend's Arts & Entertainment

• Ragged Mountain — Any day this weekend. The Metacomet Trail, maintained by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, runs across the mountain, whose open summits and high cliff faces give wide views of the surrounding landscape, including South Wassel Reservoir. The trailhead is on West Lane off Route 71A. Ragged Mountain, West Lane

This Weekend's Restaurants & Bars

No special restaurant or bar events could be confirmed in Berlin for this weekend.

With the fairgrounds quiet, Ragged Mountain's cliffs and reservoir views make the case for a fall hike close to home.
