Four miles of the 24 mile blue blazed Quinnipiac Trail passes through the Park. Sometimes following the river bank, sometimes somewhat upland, the trial leads north/south from Toelles Road (north) to the barred gate access at the abandoned Banton Street (south). Since it is an active floodplain, the forest floor can be seasonally muddy and the river's many cutoff meanders (oxbows) inundated.
From I-91 northbound: take exit 11. Take a left off the exit onto Route 22. Turn right onto State Street. Turn right onto Banton Street. Parking area is .3 mile on the left. Canoe launch is on the right, behind the Mobil station.
