Consisting of more than 500 acres of fields, forests, shrub and grasslands along the Pomperaug River, the Bent has about fifteen miles of hiking trails. Some of these trails run through countryside that feels very remote and wild. Trails are open daily sunrise to sunset. The trail maps and information are available on their website: bentoftheriver.audubon.org.
Managed by the Audubon Center at Bent of the River. More information at 203-264-5098 or bentoftheriver.audubon.org.
The Center is for the protection, study and enjoyment of Nature: Please leave pets at home. No hunting, fishing, or collecting. No river access except with an educational tour. Please stay on the trails. Take only pictures and leave only footprints. Please respect our neighbors’ privacy and stay on Center grounds.
