    "Great place for a hike"
    Business: Vast forest for hiking, biking & fishing. 389-acre forest with rugged mountain biking & hiking trails, fishing spots & lots of dog walkers.
    4worldlovers: Join Friends for our monthly hikes. Our hikes are on the first Monday of every month. We call these hikes Plikes as we borrow the term from the Swedes who combine jogging and plocka upp (to pick up) to obtain plogging. Thus Hiking plus plocka upp, gets us Pliking.

    Our Plikes run about 2 hours and are to the less used areas of the park. This allows us the opportunity to explore, check on the status of less used trails, and tidy up as we go.

    We meet at 9:00 am at the bridge on Merribrooke Lane in Stamford. Please bring gloves and a small trash bag. We hope that you can join us.

    Bald eagles continue to do well on the Mianus River. Keep an eye for their epic nests.

    The below link has more information plus a great chart about their breeding timeline.

    Scroll down the page to see recent photos taken of the eagles about a mile down the river from the park.

    Together with adjacent parcels maintained as open space, the combined contiguous area approaches 220 acres. This spacious and abundant habitat supports a variety of woodland inhabitants, many of which need the space as a refuge from human interaction. These include migratory songbirds and waterfowl, as well as year-round residents such as white tailed deer, coyotes, red and grey fox, raccoons, frogs, turtles, salamanders and snakes.

    This is one of a few SLCT preserves with trails. Consistent with the SLCT mission of preserving the open space for the benefit of the public and preserving its unique environmental benefits, limited public access is allowed on the trails only (shown in blue on the map) for hiking, photography, horseback riding and scientific research. The use of fire and motorized vehicles, as well as the removal of plants and animals, is prohibited.
