Mink Brook river swim
Find the entrance to Mink Brook Trail.
Walk straight down MAPLE to the end where there will be a small gate with “Mink Brook” on the sign.
Walk down the path to the end where there’s a little peninsula jutting out into the river. Great sandbar to swim from and have a picnic. (Be sure to check for ticks)
