For a four-season nature experience, Roosevelt Forest in north Stratford, on the Shelton border, is a great destination for residents. With walking trails, a scenic pond and picnic area, Roosevelt Forest is a peaceful experience in fall, winter, spring and summer.
The forest was created as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) program during the Great Depression.
The 250-acres property is reportedly the only town-owned forest in the state. This Stratford gem is open to those with proof of residency.
