We (Harley and I) went down to our old haunts the other day for a walk around Teatown Lake Reservation. First up was a hike around Teatown Lake. I’ve done this one many times before, mostly with our former dog, Jackson, and it’s a pleasant around 1 hour walk – pretty much flat and not at all strenuous.

After that I (Harley had no say in the decision) decided that we’d try out the Twin Lakes Trail, which I hadn’t done before. It’s three miles long and is supposed to take about 1.5 hours. Somehow it took us longer (possibly because Harley was stopping a lot to sniff, pee etc. Also perhaps because after already walking for one hour my aging legs were slowing down). In fact it took so long that I started to worry that we might not get back to the parking lot before it closed at 5:00 pm.

The two lakes are Vernay Lake (which you pass at the beginning of the hike and then return to at the end) and Shadow Lake (seen in the above photograph).
