The Branford Trolley Trail is one of those scenic quick little hikes that you probably found on the internet. The short distance and photo-worthy bridge make this a popular trail for family and photo lovers alike. It's this pretty little walk through the marsh that takes you to through an iconic Coastal Connecticut landscape, up and over a trolley bridge and to a picturesque little cove on the other side. It's pretty, its kid-friendly, dog friendly, and it's a great way to stretch your legs while taking in the views.
Pair it with a trip to the quaint little area known as Stony Creek, add in a mandatory lobster roll by the water, spend some time in the gazebo on the dock and you have yourself the best little excursion on a Summer afternoon.
