The first day of October and it was spectacular!
I went with my son and a friend of mine over to
Burr Pond State Park in Torrington. We put our kayaks in at the boat launch and headed off counter-clockwise around the pond. It's a great little place to kayak. There are small islands to maneuver around and big rocks lurking just under the water. It reminds me of the lakes you would find in Maine. We saw a few mallards, a turtle, and some Canada geese in the pond, and turkey vultures soaring above.

I love kayaking at Burr Pond because it feels so remote. No houses along the shore. The state park does have a small beach and picnic area, but in the middle of the week, in October, there were only a few people there and it was very quiet. This has become a favorite place to kayak.
