Location Details
The Blue-Blazed Miller Trail is located in the northwest section of Kettletown State Park. The trail generally follows old woods roads, making a complete loop in about 2.2 miles. Two side trails offer views of lake Zoar. There is a charcoal hearth site on the main route. The Miller Trail crosses a brook by a log bridge. There is a blue/red blazed trail if you wish to shorten the hike, or avoid the rougher areas and stream crossing.

 Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail: |
The Blue-Blazed Hiking Trail System, was established in 1929 by the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA), a private, non-profit conservation organization. Since that time, the system has grown to include roughly 825 miles of footpaths across Connecticut. The Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails are maintained by dedicated CFPA volunteers for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public. To learn more about their use, visit the Trail Use Policy page. The Connecticut Walk Book East and West, comprehensive guides to the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails, are also available at our online store. |
