Trail · Connecticut
Dogs welcome. Off-leash permitted where a dog is under voice control - check the preserve's current rules at the kiosk before unclipping.
A land trust rather than a state park, and the difference shows: the Shepaug River loops through 998 acres of woods and voice-controlled dogs are genuinely welcome off lead.
The policy above is the standing rule of the agency that manages this land, as published on its own pages. Official page.
Rules change, and seasonal beach rules change twice a year. Check before a long drive.
