The Audubon Center of Connecticut at Bent of the River is a 700-acre preserve that was established to conserve land and promote biodiversity. Located off South Britain Road, the park was founded by Mrs. Althea Clark who bequeathed Bent of the River farm to the National Audubon Society to preserve the native fauna and flora of the region. The beautifully maintained property boasts over 15 miles of hiking and biking trails that wind along the Pomperaug River and through a range of landscapes such as grasslands, shrubs, forests and fields of wildflowers. The Audubon Center at Bent of the River is also home to the historic brick house known as the Clark House and a mid-19th-century barn that is used for community-based nature education programs and special events. The Audubon Center at Bent of the River is open year-round.
