Review:
You don’t need to be searching for romance to visit the Lovers Leap State Park, but it wouldn’t hurt to bring your outdoorsy other on a date at this beautiful park either. Lovers Leap is just the place to go if you’re eager for a romantic hike, but it’s also got quite the storied past that might have you thinking twice about staying late at night unless you’ve got a penchant for spooky adventures. The park is home to 127 acres of beautiful oak forest that follows the Housatonic River. Visitors to the park should definitely make it a point to stop by the Lover’s Leap Bridge, an eye-catching red wrought-iron bridge that was originally constructed in 1895. While there, don’t forget to ask someone about the Legend of Lover’s Leap. It might just give you a tingle up your spine to go with the breathtaking views.
