Wilton Town Forest

The Town Forest is Wilton's largest open space park. It is also the most rugged. In the northeast corner is the waterfalls know as Sheep Falls. Most of the forest supports deciduous hardwoods, there are two areas within the center of the park where small hemlock groves are present. These two areas provide a pleasing contrast to the deciduous woods. A bubbling stream known as Barrett's Brook flows in a southwesterly direction through the Town Forest from Sheep Falls to Branch Brook Road. Horseback riding is permitted on designated bridle trails. The trails are narrow and rocky in places. Camping is permitted at two camp sites. No facilities exist, and permits for camping use must be obtained from the Wilton Environmental Affairs Department at (203) 563-0180.
