Beautiful on a calm day and if it is windy you can be challenged at the bluff by the wind. The main trails are easy to walk with a few benches to sit and rest are scattered around. Enjoy a quiet time with excellent scenery!
Absolutely beautiful walking trails all year round. Fairly easy hiking, not too steep and just a bit rocky at some parts. Took a double stroller all the way around the loop and didn’t have too much trouble. Lots of beautiful little paths down to the water as well, good access to beaches. My kids always have a wonderful time playing all up and down the trail! Took us about 3 hours at a pretty slow pace to make the entire loop down and back.
Been many times horseback riding and biking. Only issue for me now is out of staters have to pay via phone. Used to be free. I am Florida resident but camp in CT for summer. We still pay taxes here in summer. Not fair. One reason we left CT. Park is nice with access to ocean.
Had a really good time with family, hiking in the woods and down by the rocks. Beautiful views over the water and really well kept grounds. If I had to pick an area of improvement, there was only one bench along the way for us to take a rest on. With kids rests are helpful, so that would have been nice to have more benches. One last thing was that the one little bathroom on our hike was pretty nasty. It was a pit toilet which we would expect to be sorta smelly and somewhat gross but it was exceptionally disgusting. Not enough to put a damper on our lovely hike, but it could have been better.
I highly recommend this park for a good hike though!
Mostly shady path, full of walkers, dogs and bikes. Able to walk right near the water. Many scenic locations for photos. Pretty flat, so I would consider an easy walk. NULL fee for out-of-state people. Not sure if anyone checks since you may via QR code and it was NULL with fee. Green sheets you are supposed to fill out and put on the dash were not there. Otherwise, gorgeous scenery. Seen kayaks, jet skis and people just resting on the shores or the park.
