We only hiked one small portion of the mattatuck Forrest but we found the trails to be well maintained, scenic and fun. A great place to escape into a little nature in CT. WE hiked to "leathermans cave" it was a fun hike with a pretty nice mix of challenge and ease with a very nice reward at the end.
My dog and I love coming here early mornings. Although beware 07/30/23 blue trail is very muddy . Mud puddles as wide as the trail wear Good shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. Mattatuck forest is one of my favorite forest to unwind & look at the beautiful forest CT has. Hard to believe once you get in the Mattatuck forest that you are only mins away from Wtby, Plymouth, Etc. ✌🏼Stay Safe, Happy & Healthy
Can be beautiful as well as a bit rugged in places with miles of hiking trails to enjoy! The overlook from the 'rock' has been a favorite for years as well as Leatherman's caves.
Hiked to the Leatherman Cave on the Blue Trail. It was a well blazed trail with beautiful views.
Forest trail passes stone walls, old cart paths and a babbling brook. Some nice stands of Mountain Laurel and a few nice Sourwoods.
Great hiking place for people looking for more challenging terrain. Lots of terrain changes and beautiful views.
Great place to walk hike and explore
Great place for a hike and dog friendly! Lovely views at the top.
Been coming here weekly for a few months now and never left here disappointed. The service is superb and the food is consistently excellent. I enjoy the fact that I sometimes will have 3 or 4 servers waiting on me and making sure my needs are met at

We had tried several different Pizza variations and also pasta and meatballs. The food was excellent! Amazing flavours. One other reviewed commented that they didn't try the meatballs due to their density, you missed out, they were amazing flavour,
Took my family here for dinner tonight and had to rush back to the house to write this review! I couldnât believe what we had found! This is a hidden gem! A true authentic culinary experience. I donât want to tell you guys everything, but please
Senor Panchos is as good as it gets for an authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was top notch, great beer selection on tap, and you will not find better service. We had a great experience and will definitely be dining here again.
Every time we go here, the food and service are always phenomenal! My usual is the Veal Carcioffi, but last Friday I had their special of Short Rib Pappardelle that was to die for! Definitely a great spot!
Very nice campground. I was passing through on way to Boston. I travel in a 34 Super C diesel powered motorhome. I paid $65 for a back in site. Sites are nice and big with some sort of hard gravel that they put down. A nice touch is the picnic
