Overlook Park — Establishment and park at 31 Nashville Road, Bethel, Connecticut.

Park below and walk up short road to clearing, take upper loop trail for excellent short walk through dense mountain laurel stand. There's a fair number of small forest wildflowers including ladyslippers. What you see will depend entirely on when you visit. Very end of upper loop will drop down into a draw that has great ice falls in winter as water seeps out of the rock face.
Lower trail is through mostly flat beech forest with little undergrowth due to the abundance of deer. Not as interesting botanically but nice spot for walking with dog.
Its a fairly small park so is a great little hike on a lunch hour. Within walking distance of downtown core of Bethel.
Has campsites available for tent camping, picnic benches, and firepits.
