Parks and nature trails in Milford
I will be planning a day trip to Milford this weekend and would like to know where to find information on trails in that area. I will check out Silver Sands but I see there are some nice lakes further inland on Google Erath, one labeled Mohawk swamp and Dismal Swamp, then there's also a "Red Root Park" though I cant find any information on it.

I grew up in Milford and never heard of them, but maybe they're new. There is a trail called Beaver Brook (very short marsh walk, nothing great). If you go to the Audubon Center in Milford, there is a really nice beach walk starting from there.

I'm not sure about anything in Milford but you can check out Sleeping Giant in Hamden. It's about 15 minutes away.

Milford's website lists the preserves but no trail maps.

We love the Audobon Center in Milford, and go there every year. It's a pretty walk on the beach.

The city of of Milford has recently put out a small booklet listing all the trails/bike paths in and around milford. I think you can pick it up at the Parson's complex or the Chamber of Commerce.
