Review:
Encompassing almost 1,000 acres along the Shepaug River, Steep Rock Preserve boasts some of the most spectacular hikes in Connecticut.
There are more than 40 miles of trails for hikers to explore, with options ranging from easy to difficult.
Anyone looking for a leisurely afternoon stroll can follow the gentle path along the banks of the river, but if you're hoping for more of a challenge, you can take the rigorous path up to Steep Rock Summit.
Visitors are also welcome to launch their non-motorized boats in the river and fish for trout when in season.
Steep Rock Preserve, 2 Tunnel Rd, Washington Depot, CT 06794, Phone: 860-868-9131
