| Where are we? |
Instead of paddling, I ended 2021 with a 5-mile hike at the
Hodges Village Dam in Uxbridge on what All Trails calls the
Hodges Dam West Loop.
The Hodges Village Dam was built by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1959 in response to flooding in 1936 and 1955 which caused considerable damage downstream in CT. The site includes 1,200 acres along the French River with over 18-miles of hiking trails. A pool is impounded behind the dam only during flood control activities.

We started at the Hodges Village Dam OHV Parking Lot off Clara Barton Road in Uxbridge. We headed south on the OHV trails along the French River before crossing over and heading back along the Midstate Trail and over Rocky Hill.
Some of the trails were a little soggy, but we also got to see some pretty waterfalls along usually dry streams as we hiked the Midstate Trail. Nice way to end 2021 - now I'm ready to start 2022.
