Peak fall foliage has arrived in Bristol, bathing our city in warm hues of gold, orange and red.
In a neighborhood with rows of single-story brick houses, a hiking trail encircles Birge Pond. The serene scenery reflected in a calm body of water makes this an ideal destination for leaf peepers.
Throughout the trail, there are several clearings for hikers to see beautiful views of the tree-lined lake. Enjoy the beauty of the gnarled tree roots along the path, but be careful not to trip.
The leaf-strewn edges of the pond provide perfect camouflage for the many resident frogs and toads. Hikers may also encounter ducks, fish and hawks.
Happy trails.
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
