Ah, the Connecticut cave. So many caves across the Constitution State don’t really constitute a cave in the truest sense. Whether they are coined the Leatherman caves or King Philip’s Cave, they are usually large overhangs or huge glacial boulders piled high on top of each other or tumbled next to ledges.
There are some true caves usually tucked away into the limestone of the northwest corner like Twin Lakes Cave the state’s first and only tour cave long closed to the public. Bolton’s “Squaw Cave,” New Milford’s “Tory’s Cave” and the caves within Seymour’s Little Laurel Lime Park also reach that honest-to-goodness cave status.

Walking Rhode Island: Roughing it on the Pachaug Trail
If you go: The Pachaug Trail
John Kostrzewa
Access: Off Route 95, take Route 3 in Exeter to Route 165 and drive 7 miles west to Beach Pond on the right.
Parking: Available at the Beach Pond lot. Some spots are reserved for boaters. There’s a smaller lot across the road.
Dogs: Allowed, on a leash.
Difficulty: Strenuous at times, with hills, rocky footing and ledges. Easy at the end on flat roads and lanes.
EXETER I crossed the western border of Rhode Island in early April to hike a different type of trail than the farm lanes, cart paths and fire roads I’d been walking for the prior few weeks.
