Mianus River Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

This small reservoir is sandwiched between Mianus River Natural Park and Mianus River State Park. The road gets narrow through here so keep your head up when riding through this area.

Mainus River Park is popular with hikers, mountain bikers and dog walkers as a peaceful retreat from urban life. A short distance from Stamford City, the road winds along past the park flanked by tall trees.

Highlight • Religious Site

I would recommend E Middle Patent Road as a nice and quiet road for road biking or touring. The church is not that noteworthy imho.

Milbank Conservation Easement

Highlight • Natural

The Milbank Conservation Easement is a small nature preserve in Greenwich, Connecticut. Conservation Easements are when private landowners voluntarily
agree to permanently restrict the use and development on their property to help conserve and protect scenic views, plant life wildlife. These types of areas are especially important for animals like garter snakes and other small animals in heavily populated suburban areas because they provide important habitat.
