Lots of room to explore the Salmon River. Walk or drive ( 4WD suggested ) through Golf road. Plenty of room to stop and fish or hike. The parking area offers lots of room to distance and there is a huge field for kids ( or dogs ) to run free.Walk across the street and visit the covered bridge.

Good hiking spot along the river which climbs high above with some great views. A picturesque covered bridge is at the trail entrance. There are several spots that one can stop and hangout by the river. The day we went there were a lot of people hiking, so it can get a little crowded.

Ive been getting fresh water here off n on for years. I love this park. A lot of space and good feel. Ten minutes from home.

Great park for getting out into nature! Great fly fishing for trout, plenty of well marked hiking trails, deer hunting aswell! Recommend hiking on sunday as deer hunting is NOT allowed then! Many great oppurtunitys for some great outdoor photography also!!! Plenty of room to getaway from all the heasdaches going on in the world right now

It was a great place to picnic and enjoy a family gathering celebrating a childs birthday. There was plenty of room for social distancing. We enjoyed watching the water as it wandered down the river.

One of my favorite places to go, clean, quiet, tranquil, and peaceful. I go there to primarily fish but you could also hike/walk many of the forest trails, swim or relax in the stream or take a break away from every day society and do some outdoor camping under a starlit sky next to a good campfire. I highly recommend!

A piece of the Air Line Trail carries you through the Salmon River State Forest, a haven for hiking, fly fishing and mountain biking, or just enjoying a picnic in nature.The Salmon River is as placid as you can get today, but in the 19th century the banks were teeming with mills.At North Westchester there were so many factories competing for waterpower that the grist mills had to run at night and the paper mill by day.The Blue-Blazed Salmon River Trail snakes through the park, and takes you over an important piece of heritage, which we’ll cover next.

Nice place to go relax and fish. Only gave it 3 stars because people dont pick up garbage. They just leave it everywhere. IF YOU BRING IT IN TAKE IT OUT WHEN YOU GO.

Very remote access to the river for fishermen, etc., via a PASSABLE dirt road. STEEP DESCENT to the river, with some trails, at easier spots

This river is beautiful in the spring and fall but in the summer its not a good place because the big city residents come and ruin the peace and quiet with their loud music , pot smoking, and vulgar language police should patrol more instead of forest service patrolling. Its sad to see trash and cigarette butts floating down stream..

Beautiful spot.. good hike. Trails marked well. Nice views along the way. Picturesque. Highly recommend.

This by far is my favorite place to go to since we have lived in Conneticut. The river is beautiful and not too deep (at least were I take my kiddos) I have 2 toddler boys that love to take their trucks and buckets and play down by the river. We visit this park at the very least once a week ( we live about 35 mins away) Highly recommend this park if you have kiddos, fish or you are looking for a swim spot for your furry friend!

Perfect picnic spot near river...clear water... enjoyed thoroughly

Just great place to chill. Beautiful entry bridge. Very fairly good road. You can pull off and see different views of the river. A great way to spend the sunday afternoon.

Wonderful hike with great views, a small but beautiful waterfall and a small serene lake.

Loved the walking trails over here. The dogs loved it as well. If youre looking for a nice easily marked trail for yourself or to walk your dog. I recommend this park.

Always a good place on a hot day...a little bit more well known than it used to be.

Excellent picnic area fire grills for cooking and children can play in the Stream safely the park is extremely large

There are so many cool little hidden spots around Salmon River. Its fun and exciting to find these spots too. Its kind of like a scavenger hunt or something. Hiking through the woods alongside the river can be so relaxing too. We love to bring our dog too. You can also go swimming in a few different spots so pack your bathing suit.

Absolutely LOVE this state park!! its beautiful...just sitting by the water listening to it flow down...peaceful..refreshing and relaxing

Nice clear water, plenty of places to enjoy quiet time with family

Clean and well kept with good walking trails and its dog friendly not to mention the fly fishing is great there

Nice old covered bridge at the beginning of this trail along the Salmon River. There are some slightly challenging rock scrambles here if you are a beginner. Enjoy the outdoors!

Secret place!! Calm and peaceful!!

Always a great trip trails a very clean Off roading is that a pretty nice as well Only wish they had more garbage is at the Field or at the parking

Beautiful Forrest, no matter what part of it youre in! I absolutely recommend you come and check it out!

Great place for walking enjoying nature.

Beautiful state park loaded with picnic tables right by the water, a fishing deck, bathrooms, and water pump. Very well kept hidden gem

Its a well known trout area. I catch brown trouts and browns there.

A little slice of heaven! Fun for the whole family.

This river is so beautiful! I would definately go again and again. The hiking trails are challenging but fun. Most of the river you can access by road with tons of pull offs to park and walk around. There a gorgeous bridge thats perfect for wedding photos in my opinion. I love this place. You should definately go.

A beautiful walk in the woods.

Lovely place to walk with your dog. A relaxing and easy hike. Had some trouble finding an entrance, as the address online does not lead to a parking lot.

Amazing state park with fun and long trails!

Great off the beaten path hiking. Never see more than 1 or 2 people here. And the river is beautiful. Dont forget to check out the short side trail to the waterfall!

Everytime I go to walk the trails I try to pick up every single piece of trash I come across. I was delighted to see that somebody must have already done this. It makes me happy to see other environmentally conscious people.

Nice running river beautiful views and trail!

Great fishing and tons of hiking trails. Scenic and normally peaceful it can get a bit crowded at the start of fishing season and opening day is always a big event for many at this park. Salmon River State Forest is on both sides of Rt. 16 . The covered bridge is highly photographed.

Great hike! Just long enough and a lot of nice places to stop and see!

Pretty run/hike/swim/fish area.

Beautiful spot to fish or hike.

There like in my nation country!Ukraine

Peaceful, tranquility in the morning. Theres an eagle there somewhere.

Great place in spring summer and fall.

Excellent hike. We did not get stopped by rain/storm threats. Fun day. How are you, Anne? Concerned about your wrist- please keep us posted.

Perfectly secluded, not too far out of the way, access to the airline trail. Trail is mostly pretty well maintained.

A great day for a hike from Comstock bridge to Day Pond SP!

Nice place for

Absolute beautiful scenery and a great fly fishing destination. Great hiking trails and historic covered bridge.

One of my favorite places to go ♡

Nice quiet area for walking or fishing.

Really great hiking place!

The best ever live and love it my best place in America

What a great walk! We really enjoyed the old foundations and the plethora of bugs and bushes.

A deceptively challenging trail system, with lots of old stone foundations slowly losing the battle against nature. Lots of picturesque views of the Salmon River, and it links up with the Air Line Trail as well as the Day Pond State Park. If you do the North Loop, theres an old car that looks like the one from Army of Darkness and that leads to a cool little side trail with a waterfall that was part of an Eagle Scout project. Not really heavily trafficked, with lots of parking at the Comstock Covered Bridge and Day Pond.

Great place to go fishing or take a hike/ mountain bike with the family

A nice Park to explore and see different wildlife

Awesome place very good for fishing and picnics love it there

The river is in a drought right now

A good family restaurant. The food is reasonably priced and unremarkable.

Excellent place for relaxation

Great fishing and hiking. The beauty of our state forests makes up for our lack in nightlife, drive ins, stuff to do with your kids, and taxes. It almost makes it worth it.

Nice place to go trout fishing always a good time.

Great hiking trail would definitely go again

Hiking, biking, fishing -- if you like being outside this is a great place to do things outdoors

Beautiful place. Would be nicer if people respected the privacy of others

Good (long) walk.

Lots of hills. Nice trails. Pretty waterfall.

One of the best fishing streams in the state. Early season trout fishing cant be beat. Unfortunately, when the water drops, and temps rise, smallmouth bass take over.

Excellent place to go and relax and have picnics with your family because they do have grills there and you can fishe well

Clean and quiet. A great place for meditation and relaxing. Plenty of interesting things to see and nice trails and areas

Been going here since I was a kid swimming and fishing ..now bring my kids there to enjoy the same . Great place

My family loves it here. well maintained and beautiful.

A great state forest !

Very nice and quiet good food for a fair price.

What a nice place for fishing and spending a great time with family.

Take the kids and the dogs and get out there and breath in healthy air and check out nature!

Great place for kids on a hot summer day. Clean areas, shade for picnics.

Great place to hike picnic or just hang out with fam and friends

Great hiking trails

Great place for a hike. Well marked trails. Somewhat difficult terrain. Very enjoyable.

Great hiking

Just a nice spot to walk, hike fish and enjoy nature

Nice and quiet

Great place for trekking, awesome trails and overall great for family outings.

Good fishing,Trout

Great place to fish.

Beautiful little hike with a decent climb

Great for hiking and swimming gets crowded at times

I live close so this is a great place for a local guy to get away. I know of many people who travel just to fish at this location and Sky Mountain that supports the Airline Trail has some Beautiful views! Only issue is no trash bins!!!!

Its amazing

I attempted to canoe the Salmon River, Route 66 bridge to Route 16. Beware, the river is clogged with down trees, making it almost impassable at this time 4/1/18 (seriously, no fooling). We were not able to make it to our destination before darkness fell. The river needs some serious effort... Chainsaws, ropes, human ingenuity...to get it back in shape. The forest however, 5 stars!

The State Forest was a great place to hike. It features a beautiful Covered Bridge and a wonderful waterfall. From the bridge to the waterfall and back was about seven miles and about a thousand ft of elevation gain. The trails are all very well maintained.

What a great a park! Gorgeous river! Great for running, grilling and just hanging with friends and family.

Just Beautiful ️

Great area for birdwatching! Warblers and Tanagers galore!

Best Trout fishing around! Awesome hiking trails!

Very good outdoor place to hang out at they have the river which is great for swimming fishing and just said put to hang out there are several parts of the river that you can do this but this one happens to be one of the best it is right on the edge of East Hampton Inn Colchester line you can rent out the area for parties and events if you want or you can just go down and hang out in the field and have fun sometimes I hit golf balls down there myself or as a kid I used to play baseball there sometimes too because they have the big giant field which is great for many activities well actually they have two giant fields and they got grills when you can cook food if you want to and Pickett able to sit down which is also great and to make things a little bit better too theres a spot where you can get clean water when you first pull in which is free to the public so if you need water for your home or whatever youre doing and you do not want to use up the water at your own house or do not have it you can go to your and get it for free just bring your own bottles.

Great place to bring the dogs

Nice trails lotsa ticks
