Huntington State Park is on Sunset Hill Rd. which is off State Route 58 . The park is about 700 acres, partially in Redding and a little in Bethel. Very rocky, but there are some out-of -the way trails that aren't as bad. Heavily used park, many bikers, some loose dogs. Small parking lot. Pretty ponds and nice wooded trails.

Larkin State Bridle Trail is in Southford, the best entrance is off Route 188, although there are a variety of entrances along its length. Not a heavily used trail, has been well maintained. The main section of trail runs about 8 miles in each direction, ending at the dam in Naugatuck. Excellent footing. Has been discovered by the bikers. Narrow and high in sections, so if you have a spooky horse that hates bikes, it could be tricky. Most of it good going. Many, many side trails off the main rail trail. Not a lot of parking, no real lot.

They have just finished a large parking lot on the route 63 area of the bridal trail. It appears to be designed to accommodate large trailers.

White Memorial in Litchfield is a large preserve, of approximately 4,000 acres. Nice parking lot, no fee for use. Very good, well maintained multi-use trails. Many dead ends, but trails are well marked, and there are posted signs at all major intersections. Many connecting trails and dirt roads in area. One bad road crossing, many lovely views, good mix of trail types. Not too rocky.
