One of a kind in the state of Connecticut! The Wallace Barnes Nature Trail began construction in March of 2023. This one mile-long nature trail is fully accessible to people using wheelchairs, strollers, walkers and other mobility devices.
The trail is located at the Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center. The trail features benches, pull off sheltered areas, and signage as it leads you through various habitats.
