Ivoryton Pond

Highlight • Lake

Falls River feeds Ivoryton Pond which has a small dam at the eastern end. Water from here flows into the much larger Mill Pond a little further east on Main Street. You can access the banks of the pond from the western end, just over the bridge. The rest of the pond is mostly surrounded by trees, which help to make this an inviting pond for local wildlife.

Mount Tom

Highlight • Summit

This peak may be diminutive, but it's still a nice little stopover to enjoy some views. Look for some green open spaces to the southeast, and glimpses of much larger conservation areas to the east, southwest, and west.

Town Open Space (West Pond Meadow Road)

Highlight • Forest

Surrounded by tall woodland, this town open space provides a great spot for you to jump off the bike and take a rest. Take care whilst pulling back onto the road.

Old Saybrook Town Launching Ramp

Highlight • Rest Area

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.
