Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Stretched along River Road is Peace Nature Sanctuary, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled parks in Mystic. Originally owned by explorer and writer Mary Jobe Akeley, it was used as a nature summer camp for girls. When Mary died, the land was converted to a public park maintained by the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center.

The park is tranquil and shady, and replete with native plants. The best time to visit is May when the native pink slippers bloom, and all 400 of them bloom at the same time. A lovely well maintained trail offers great walks or hikes and wonderful views of the river.
