Just over the river in Lyme, CT is a state park with trails and a small waterfall. A great place to picnic and hike! Just down the road is the Fox Hopyard Golf Course and restaurant. Open to the public, with beautiful outdoor dining - from burgers to more. Food isn't spectacular but the outdoor tables and vista over the golf course are certainly worth it!
