Middletown Reservoir Trails Sunset Hike
In eight years being upstate I had no idea that Middletown Reservoir trails existed. We went on a late sunset hike here and we can’t wait to go back. The parking lot was large so it must get busy in the summer. The area only has about eight and half miles of hiking trails and […]
