Much of this is on the newly-opened trackage in the Shailerville section of Haddam. Bring binoculars for wildlife viewing. Parking is behind the Goodspeed Station Country Store in Haddam’s Overlook Park. There are no restrooms available at this location or at the store. More information is on their WEBSITE.
