St. Columban’s is a Catholid assisted living unit just north of Center Road in Pomfret. It’s a lovely walk through woods and then with great visibility of the lake. Birders need to tell folks inside if the wish to walk the trail. A small donation is nice, too.
The Point Gratiot has a trail through a woods at the north end. You can park at the workers (I forget who) building. We were thrilled to see two RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS.
