The trails at Bulkeley Hill Preserve are comprised of two loops (red and white) that run in parallel for some distance. Future trails are planned to take advantage of scenic overlooks.
The red and white blazed trails follow old farm paths and across streams.
Bulkeley Hill is a wonderful place to relax and observe. The terrain is mostly flat and relatively smooth: some sections have rocks or roots protruding. Wildlife is common, though not likely to be encountered by hikers. Bulkeley Hill Preserve is unique in that it is a watershed for two of Connecticut's rivers: the Eightmile and the Salmon. There is a small pond on the property where beavers have taken up residence.
Take Route 16 to Bulkeley Hill Road (on the left as you travel west on Route 16). The preserve is about 1.5 miles from Route 16, on the right, a couple hundred yards past the gabion (stone in mesh cages) wall. There is an 8 car parking lot.
