Sometimes while on a larger walk I will make a "discovery" which can be part of a smaller walk. Near the Golden Lamb Restaurant in Brooklyn is a new covered bridge. The bridge, which is all but complete is a very attractive covered bridge. To get to this path you travel south from Pomfret on Route 169 toward Brooklyn. Near the top of the hill is an orchard and farm stand, about 1/2 mile south of the farm stand (.56 miles) on the right is a road that leads to the Golden Lamb (it is marked with a sign for the eatery). Drive down this road until you get to the "T" where the Golden Lamb is, take a left hand turn and drive to the bottom of the hill. Park well off the road.
The path show is a 1.5 mile circuit and has a mild up hill near Fitzgerald Rd (which the bridge is on). For the uphill I will give it a 2. I call this type of circuit and inner loop as there are no roads through it. If you are going counter-clockwise after the initial "rat-tail" take every left turn. It is a nice neighborhood with some interesting homes and properties. It is shaded and ideal for a hot/sunny day. Stop and enjoy the bridge, it has a certain New England charm that is well worth the time.
