Babcock Preserve

"It was really fun and I went on a hike with my friends. We saw wildlife and had a great time"

"Beautiful place for a hike and dog friendly!"

"This past Saturday we decided to for a hike in Connecticut. It's a 45 minute drive form Whitestone depending on traffic . The Babcock Preserve does have a parking area . Even before you start your walk there is a rest room . On the left side of the trail . It's a nice place to be . At one point on the right side of the trail there is a little stream . The trail is well marked with yellow paint on the trees . Be where of lot's of merscedos Where hiking pants or blue jeans so your legs don't get eaten up like mine . Bring a backpack with alot of water and snack bar's. To keep your engery up . We came close to finishing the trail . The trail is three and a half miles . If you ever deside to take a nice easy hike . I hope enjoy your self . P .S . Bring bug spray . . . . ."

"Overall a good experience- we did a yellow to blue trail loop. The map doesn’t show mileage well- It was a nice 1 hour hike of almost 3 miles. There were a few spots that got narrow, unkempt (afraid of ticks?)and near still pools (Bugs!). We did lose the blue trail at one point where one needs to walk along a stream; but figured it out. We hiked with our dog & found it disturbing that some do not clean up after theirs."
