Audubon Center Bent of the River

Address: 185 E Flat Hill Rd, Southbury, CT 06488, USA

“Well maintained trails, intentionally not well marked, but a beautiful wildlife sanctuary on the Atlantic Flyway. Birds, butterflies, crickets, wildflowers abound. No dog walkers, no bicycles, and no fishing, so a great place for solitude. We only covered a few of the trails by the river but the trail map shows many more walking opportunities. The trails we walked were easy since they were near the river.”

Enough little nooks and secret tunnels for kids to go wild. (Last I checked, the zipline was broken, which is kind of sad.) Additionally, there is a pavilion that can be rented for events.”
