Hartman Park Offers Fun for Hikers
Bring an old toy or two to leave at the fairy ring!
Hartman Park is part of the Lyme Land Conservation Trust.
It has great trails, and though the terrain can be rough, the excitement of going to a fairy circle usually makes it worthwhile.
A fairy circle, or fairy ring, is a naturally occurring circle, often outlined in musrooms. Fairy circles are thought to be the entrances to fairy kingdoms. My kids bring small toys from home to leave for the fairies.

The kids also love to hike up to the classroom and watch the beavers working on the dam.
If you have older, more adventurous kids, there is a wealth of history here with the remains of farmsteads and settlements of the colonial era.
