Many people who visit or drive past The Copp Family Park on Route 184 in Groton likely assume that although the parcel includes a picnic area and a few short trails for stretching the legs, the property is mainly for dog-walkers.
After all, a well-traveled trail from the parking lot leads to a fenced-in area called Central Bark, where canines can cavort off-leash, under the watchful eyes of their owners.
Happily for active humans, the 240-acre, town-owned property also contains miles of paths that range from smooth and flat to surprisingly rocky and hilly.
