Winter hiking available, great parking, popular hiking spot even in the snow. Trails are well marked and follow a stream closely, with the option of reaching higher ground for a couple views.
Easy to hike, suspension bridge is very close to the parking area, and the other bridge with the winding stairway leading to it was maybe a mile away from the parking area, very interesting place to visit and I will definitely be going back there again in the future.
What a wonderful well maintained area for hiking. I went on a holiday so the trails were bustling with families and dog lovers. There were plenty of trails so it didn’t feel crowded. This has to be one of my favorite places to hike now and will be back!
Another great nature preserve in CT. A good trail system. Lots of variety for return visitors. We hiked white circle trail to yellow circle trail loop. Its 1.5 miles and easy. Trail was wide and cultivated. You cross 2 bridges including the newer Henry Thoreau suspension bridge.
It was my first time here in 2025 & I've lived in Connecticut since 2012! I will certainly be back. Very peaceful & serene. It was way too hot, so thankfully, most of the hikes are shaded. My dog enjoyed the river a lot, and he's my primary hiking buddy, so if he doesn't like it, we don't come back often.
