Oswegatchie Hiking Nature Preserve and hiking trails are easily accessed on Quarry Dock Road in Niantic, Connecticut. You will find beautiful, well maintained trails with multiple entry points.

“The 457-acre preserve was created through a public/private partnership. The ultimate goal is to expand to more than 700 acres, through additional acquisitions.” oswhills.org

You’ll love the new bridge and wide, clean trails. Trees are marked with signs to let you know where you are going and how to get back. You can also pick up a trail map at each entrance. Check out giant boulders on the hills that overlook the lake and look for hidden gems like this teepee created out of twigs and branches.
