Putnam Park
About
Putnam Park is a 16-acre park in Connecticut, about 1.9 miles from the town of Bethel. It's a small, compact place, suited to a short visit rather than a full day out. The most comfortable stretch for a visit is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Danbury weather station put September highs around 75°F with lows near 55°F, while May runs about 72°F by day and 49°F at night. Several short outings sit within about a mile. Split Rock Trail and Boulder Trail are both close by, and climbers will find El Duque Wall and La Duqusa Wall roughly 1.1 miles away.
