It was a nice evening so my son and I took our dog for a walk at Dorothea Dix Park in Hampden. I last visited the park in February when there was snow covering the ground, so it was nice to come back and see the trail system. We did a short hike (0.8 miles round-trip) on the Locust Trail.
This was a nice short wooded walk. There are options to extend the hike using different trails. The park also has picnic tables, a small playground and portable toilets.
Here is a
trail map.

The Locust Trail is wide and covered with wood chips. |
