Did not walk entire trail but part I did walk was very nice. Lots of shade, path not smooth so good hiking trail, water very low but still beautiful area.
Nice for a walk in the woods year round. Trails go through several low lying marshes, avoid after rain, and wear boots as you will be likely walking through mud. Great during the fall. Bring your own bags for dogs.
This is a deceptively large patch of woods right near downtown Mystic. Great for walking dogs or just an easy several mile hike. Paths on the west side are the nicest and can be used for trail running.
We loved this hike. It’s a short walk to the pond and there was lots of wildlife there, including giant bullfrog tadpoles. The rest of the loop trail we took (blue to red to blue back) is shaded and beautiful but not too tough even though it’s rocky and you should wear sturdy shoes. Heard owls hooting since it was near sunset. There was even a vine the kids could swing on, they loved that and I loved that it was over a flat clear area so not too dangerous. 😉
Pequot Woods is a small park with a pretty, well defined walking trail. March 2025: some maintenance needs to be improved. There were large black plastic tubes to conduct water around the pond, and other minor debris that detracted from the view a little. Don’t let that stop you from going though. If you are looking for a short, flat hike this is a beautiful choice.
