The Hoxie Scenic Overlook offers a nice view of the Mystic River but that's about all there is to it. It's worth a stop if it's on your way to somewhere else but I wouldn't go out of my way to get to it.See more..

3.0Tidal Marsh Trail(1 review) - It Could Be Better.... Scenic Walking Areas It is a Nice Place to Visit, the views are very Serene....However....the trails are full of Branches, Sticks, Falling Trees and Rocks, you should be careful and watch your footing..it would be a good idea for the Town to clear everything up and make it blacktop like other trails in the area (Cheshire, and Hamden) to make it easier to walk. Picnic Tables, Bathrooms, Benches are all a good idea as well! It is OK to go fishing there, although getting down to the water is steep....I am told you can get some big fish there. Overall a Big Improvement would be great to make this a real attraction.See more..
