DIRECTIONS TO WILLIAM E. WOLFE PARK, MONROE, CT

Wolfe Park can be reach from Rt 111 in Monroe. If traveling North from Rt25, take a left onto Elm Street, and the first left onto Cross Hill Rd. This ends at the poolhouse for Wolfe Park. Parking lots to the left. There seems to be a new rule in effect: Dogs are no longer allowed in the park. So very sorry!

Face the Poolhouse. Look to the left for a sign that reads "Walking Trail to Great Hollow Lake and Playground." Follow that trail as it descends into the woods. Be on the lookout for two Large Boulders and a metal bench on your right. Stop and listen for the waterfalls.

Continue down the trail, and you will see another metal bench on your left. A side trail exits to the right. Take the trail. Come to the wooden bridge. Stop and enjoy the falls.

Standing in the middle of the bridge, with the falls on your right and the lake on your left, look straight ahead through the trees and up to the top of the second hill. You should see a large silver beech tree and a sentinel stone. Climb the first hill, cross the gravel path, and then into the woods to the stone.

If you fell over the stone, you would fall on top of the Waterfalls Twenty-two Letterbox. Reach in between the crack formed by the rocks. You don't have to move the pointy triangle-shaped stone.

From the top of the hill, the trail to the right leads to picnic grounds and the Great Hollow Lake. Back over the bridge and to the left will take you back to the Poolhouse.
