Situated a few miles from nearby Milford is a beautiful, natural area where visitors can spend the day participating in various outdoor activities. The Abbott’s Mill Nature Center is home to the Milford Millponds Nature Preserve, which is 377 acres of meadows, woodland area, wetlands, swamps, and streams. In the middle of it all is a scenic pond.On-site is five miles of hiking and biking trails, where you can spot a variety of plant and animal species. While exploring the park, you can stop in at the visitor center where there are exhibits and an aquatic touch tank.You will also come across the Ainsworth Abbott’s Mill, which is a historic gristmill that is still in operation. Tours of the mill are available at certain times throughout the year.

Even though the visitors center is currently closed due to covid, we thoroughly enjoyed the boardwalk trail along the streams and look forward to exploring more trails in the future. Several families were there today having professional Christmas photos taken and it was very festive to witness! Hoping to partake in one of the centers nature classes when things open up again.

Beautiful place and enjoyable to spend quality time with the family need more places like this

Beautiful spot to walk the chestnut trail. We were impressed by how clean the trail was with no trash except for someones inevitable loss of their mask.

Amazing walk today! Our 1st time here, and saw black snakes, newborn deer, Northern Flicker, Hairy and Downy wooodpeckers, and Bluegray Nightcatcher, and many more birds! (Great paths!)

Nice easy trails perfect for a family walk
