Southford Falls State Park
Date visited: 4/17/2021
Here is another state park that features a waterfall. The park sits on the border between Southbury and Oxford, but it looks like the falls themselves are entirely in Oxford. We walked around the waterfall, and the covered bridge, but didn't hike the whole trail since this was the 3rd stop of the day. We didn't get a chance to take many pictures at the bridge, because there was a professional photographer taking pictures of a family celebrating and adoption. The waterfall looked to be man-made up top, but natural down lower.

Bridle Trail

This is another rails to trails project. This is a stone dust trail, and used a lot for horseback riding. We walked a section of the trail in Southbury and Oxford. This part of the trail was not very exciting.
Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary
Date visited: 8/6/2021
There's not too much to say about this one. There are some cool rock walls. The trail connects to the Keith Mitchell Forest in Seymour. There was some yellow police type tape blocking a small section of a trail because of a very large branch that was dangling. The trail had been re-routed around it. There is also a very large up-rooted tree.

Naugatuck State Forest West Block
Date visited: 12/4/2021
We hiked the section of the forest by the reservoirs. All-Trails said they were called the Naugatuck Resrvoirs, but Google Maps and Open Street Map called them the Seymour Reservoirs. The names make no sense, since they are located in Oxford and Beacon Falls! There's a nice series of trails here. It was a chilly, gray, overcast day in early December, so it wasn't that picturesque. The pictures here are from the Oxford section of the trail. The pictures from Beacon Falls are here.
