Milford’s Town Trails
Shout out to Milford. The Milf. The town has produced a “Favorite Walks in Milford” that is incredibly thorough and comprehensive. There is much, much more listed than what I have below. Mostly because they include several loops exclusively on roads and sidewalks, but also because they have a couple that are nothing more than walking across a little bridge at a manmade duckpond. I have my limits.
Of course, Milfordians will laugh at that last sentence once they seem my edited list. I still have a bunch of tiny little properties, but at least they have (or had) trails in the woods and marshes on them. Looking forward to getting to know the Milf.

March 5, 2021 at 7:15 pmThere is no real hiking in Milford, writing from the perspective of someone who lives here. Eisenhower Park is the largest area, but the trails are fragmented and don’t go very far. Solomon Woods has the largest possibilty for a loop hike, which would be about 2-3 miles. Beaver Brook is a 1.25 mile loop with the roar of adjacent I-95 in your ears. Mondo Ponds is a loop of less than 1 mile, again with the sound of I-95 nearby. The Sikorsky Bridge Walk is a pathway from Milford to Stratford along the Route 15 bridge. The river views to the north are good, but the traffic noise 5 feet away is deafening. The Great River Walk is a brief walk to the Housatonic River on a trail near a golf course. There are no trails at Walker Pond. Wilcox Park is a small park adjacent to Milford Harbor with less than half a mile of trails. The best walking option in Milford is the boardwalk and paved path connecting Silver Sands State Park to Walnut Beach.
