Woodland loop trail with creek crossing
Finch Brook Preserve in Wolcott is a 60-plus-acre woodland property with a well-marked 2.5-mile blue-blazed loop trail that winds through hilly terrain, crossing Finch Brook and navigating around wetland areas.
Free · Outdoor · Quiet-friendly
Trail map download available on the website; have it ready since the preserve has no staffed entrance.
Parking is along the cul de sac at the end of Barbara Drive; arrive early on weekends.
The blue-blazed trail avoids most wetlands but still offers a real hike; better for kids comfortable with 2+ miles.
