The nature center isn't always open but it's a nice place to see some stuffed wildlife and see some species from the local area. The nature trails are nice as well that run along the pond and creek The actual mill is closed other than one Saturday a month from 2-3pm usually starting in march and running into the fall.... More

Usually peaceful unless the school kids are here (so may want to call ahead) Not a big hiking place but if not close to the beach why not here just off RT 113 in Milford...pretty pond and old mill with waterfall.

The day we visited, the mill it was closed but the nature trails were open. It was absolutely beautiful. You could just feel the history at the mill. It's a wonderful place for picture taking. We will return when it's open.
