ミドルセックス郡のおすすめライド

This is one of the tallest hills in the area, offering some nice views over nearby green space. It also puts you on Wig Hill Road, which follows an overpass across the highway to the east — so there's no need to dodge traffic along on/off ramps.

If you bike down Cottage Road, you can access the Hammonasset River at the Town of Madison Canoe/Kayak Launch. This is a popular spot for just soaking in views of the river under the West Main Street Bridge.

It's well worth hopping off your bike here for the short walk to Wadsworth Falls, AKA Wadsworth Big Falls. This is widely considered one of the best waterfalls in Connecticut, and its 30-foot drop is especially impressive after a big rain.

The East River Preserve is made up of the riparian forest on the banks of the East River. The dense woodlands are a haven for wildlife of all sorts, making it a great place to escape to.

This small bridge gives you a great view over the East River and the nearby woodlands. There's also what appears to be a Christmas Tree farm nearby which adds its own unique charm.

Right across from the Cypress Cemetery, a historic spot in its own right, is the original location of Yale College. There is a large stone with a plaque and an informational sign marking the spot.

Old Saybrook Town Launching Ramp on North Cove Road is an incredibly scenic spot. The launching area is marked by an open grass lawn with panoramic views of the water and the boats moored nearby. On the other side of the road, opposite to the lawn, are some big old, historic houses right on the water. This is a beautiful spot to ride past as you explore the area.

Griswold Preserve is a beautiful wetland with plenty of wildlife to see. There aren't any roads running through it so you'll have to step off the bike to take a closer look. Perfect for a mid ride break.
