Poquonnock River Boardwalk

My son got married along this river walk in early September. It was a small, intimate affair, shared live across the country and into Poland via the internet for family who were unable to be there physically. I’ll treasure the location and event the rest of my life.

Nice short riverside boardwalk with a few benches. Boardwalk leads to a small pavilion and parking lot near shops and The Barn restaurant

This place is for Lovers 😍, Painters 🎨, photographers 📸, and families on warm holidays 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑‍🤝‍🧑👬… inches from the great bluff point …this beautiful boardwalk area is an incredible hidden 💎 in South Eastern CT.

So great for littles! It says it is for kids ages 2-5. There are two swings I did not get a picture of. One with leg holes and one regular swing. Also another plus, no wood chips or sand to throw. There are some holes in the flooring, but it’s really not a big deal at all. This playground was perfect for this two under two mama.

We LOVE boardwalks into nature and so we LOVED this one. The parking lot had grass and a few dogs brought by folks to “walk”.
The park was neat with a children’s playground and large grassy area.
The walk was between people’s homes and the waterway. We encountered one woman with a dog on leash and one guy riding a fat-tired bicycle. Everyone was polite.
I was SHOCKED that many homes “back-of-yards” were filled with the usual invasives like Oriental bittersweet and Japanese knotweed. Also, there were several species I didn’t recognize. The boardwalk was mostly clear with plants showing only some growth through its wooden fencing.
Homes had access to the water by paths going under the boardwalk. It was long , We walked 500 yards and turned around.
