Gold Mine Brook
This wonderful hike is just down the road from Vermont Cottage Lake Amherst. Take the dirt road from the cottage, turning left at the end of the driveway. Travel along until you get to a bridge and take a right over the bridge. Continue on until you come to Plymouth State Park.

When my husband and I got married, a local artisan made his wedding ring out of gold from this brook. Mined by a local man just panning for gold for fun, he sold the gold to the local artisan, Peter Manship. It was a nicely shaped band with gold nuggets in it. Unfortunately it was lost in a lake several years ago.
This is the entrance to the hike, across the road from the park entrance and to the right of the cemetery on the hill.
You can go as far as you want. It's an easy uphill walk.
