Fall Foliage Pictures 2004 - Housatonic River in Kent

When these pictures were taken, it was still just a bit early in the foliage season. Although it isn't quite the peak foliage season, there are still a few trees that show their colors early. The trees in the Housatonic River Valley tend to change slightly before the trees on the hills change.
The following pictures were taken on the afternoon of October 13, 2004. There were taken along the banks of the Housatonic River in Kent, Connecticut.

The first set of photos were taken in the Bull's Bridge area of Kent. The area has one of the few remaining covered bridges in Connecticut. The area is also popular with Kayak paddlers as well as hikers of the Appalachian Trail which runs through the area.

Just north of Bull's Bridge is Schaghticoke Road. This leads through the Schaghticoke Indian Reservation and also offers some great views of the Housatonic River.

On the north end of Schaghticoke Road is Route 341. Take a left (west) will bring you to the entrance to Macedonia Brook State Park and eventually into New York State. Taking a right (east) will bring you past the Kent School and back to Route 7 and downtown Kent. Several mountains line Route 341 and offer some bright colors during the foliage season.

The collection of fall foliage pictures shown on these pages were taken by me unless otherwise noted. Most shots were taken in Litchfield County, Connecticut which is located in Central and North Western Connecticut. During October, leafpeeping is my favorite hobby as the trees change from green to red and yellow.
