Location: Crandall Park, Cider Mill Road, Tolland, CT
Directions: Interstate 84, Exit 68, turn North onto Route 195. Go approximately 1/3 mile; take your left onto Cider Mill Extension. At stop sign take left onto Cider Mill Road. You will pass a pond on the right; take a right into Crandall Park. Park in the parking lot in front of the tennis courts.
Although this walk is approximately two to two and a half miles long the box is easy to find. Walk to your right keeping the tennis court and ball field to your left and the pavilion to your right. At the end of the fence surrounding the Volleyball net you will find yellow arrows to your left. Walk a short distance and pick up the yellow trail again on the right. Continue to follow the yellow arrows, passing by a small wall with a chain, until you come to the Lodge. Stay to the right of the Lodge crossing over a Footbridge. Take a left onto the gravel road. Continuing on the road go through a stonewall and over to a large map of the trails at Crandall’s on your right.
At the sign you will begin the Red Arrowed trail. Climb a fairly steep hill to rest on either of the benches or boulders at the top. Continue on the red arrowed path until it takes a sharp right. Before taking the right, walk on an eleven o’clock angle approximately 20-25 feet up, to locate “Help save the Bluebird”**. ***. Continuing on the Red arrowed path you will soon come to a stonewall at the beginning of a grove of Mountain Laurel.
There will be fallen logs on your right and on you left. Pass through another wall on your right. The wall will continue on you left. A short ways down go to two large boulders with trees growing from them. While standing in front of the boulders you will notice a tree resembling a face. There you will find “Protect the Bluebird”**.
Getting back on the Red Trail enjoy your stroll until you come to a Marsh, which will be on your left. About the middle of the Marsh, to the left of a stonewall, you will spot a path leading down to the Marsh. A few feet down this path, past the wall step to your right, turn around, and search in front of you to find the “Green Frog”**. ***.
***Retrace your footsteps back onto the Red Trail. Either go back to where you started or by going left you will enjoy the Red Trail for more of what nature offers. While following the Red Arrows you will come to a junction where the Blue Arrows begin. Rather than continuing on the Red Trail, start following the Blue Arrows. Soon you will come to another junction with Yellow Arrows. At this point you will want to take the Yellow Trail. At the end of the Yellow Trail follow the gravel road passing through a large stonewall. Soon after the wall you take a left to go over the Footbridge near the Lodge. Carry on to your vehicle.
** Please be discrete, move away from the wall while stamping and rehide the box in the same spot again. A note mentioning where you are from would be appreciated.
