lucius pond ordway / devil's den preserve印象

Huge preserve full of trails! It's great to find such a place so near home to hike! Beautiful pond a few minutes from the starting point. Easy hiking, not much elevation, you can choose how long you want your hike to be. We were there for 4 hours without going through the same trail!Take a map with you (they are in the parking lot in a wood box) so you don't get lost and in order to decide where to go. So many trails can confuse a little bit…We cannot find the way to a view it seems to be at a point. Anyway the trails worth the day!Pets and bikes are not allow.

Well maintained, nice trails, pretty views. A great way to spend a few hours wandering the trails. It is real hiking. Variety of places to go from vistas to a nice ponds. Some historical areas too.

Devil's Den is part of the Nature Conservancy. It has several miles of well-groomed trails, some easier than others. A large map of The Den greets visitors, so it's easy to decide which trail to take, depending on your level of ability and the time you can spare. Be sure to wear long pants because there are ticks in this area. It is a very beautiful place. No dogs allowed.

There are many loops to choose from at the Devil's Den. All of them are easy enough for a determined 5 year old but you have to just be aware of the distance. In the spring, summer, and fall you will see wildlife if you walk quietly and keep an eye out, Dogs are not allowed, even on a leash, nor are bikers, so the trails are still very boot friendly. A lot of people hike out to the pond and back which might take you an hour round trip, probably less. The lesser trails are my favorite since you get some nice landscape-with-trees views that are very peaceful. Any elevation gain is gradual. All trails are clearly marked. Weekends the parking lot gets crowded, so be aware and get there before 10 am. Holidays in the Fall are nightmare with cars and SUVs. No bathrooms,no trash cans.

We've walked and snow shoed on these trails. There is limited parking and access so, if you can get a space, there will be no crowd. Since it is limited, get there early or late and enjoy nature!

Amazing place to walk. Main trail leads around a pond and other trails go off into the wilderness. It's actually possible to get lost in the midst of Fairfield County.

Very quiet trails with varied terrain in a lovely part of the state. No entry fee but parking is somewhat limited.
-
Great place for hiking with wonderful vistas, ponds, rivers, and Keith Richards' Connecticut house abutting the property.

Been hiking here since I was a kid. Easy to get around and the trails are fairly well maintained. Definitely head out to Godfrey Pond and walk the trail all the way around. The kids will love climbing on the rocks! Limited parking and no dogs allowed.

Devil’s Den offers some nice and long varied hikes for being able to hike right in Weston, CT (less than 15 minute drive from my office). While there is not much elevation gain on the hikes (this is lower CT). there is a decent amount of water and thick forest to make it feel like you could be much further north. It is nice to have a hike in Fairfield County that has a destination with a good view in the Grand Ledge. However, the trails are not well marked. Typically, there is just an indication of ski trails or hiking trails only, and in a few spots where trees fell I lost the trail for a few minutes. You need to plan out your hike by deciding which way to go at each junction number on the map; and then you should be OK.
