Small trailhead leading to meadows, wetlands and a long boardwalk through Wilton Wildlife Preserve. Expect marsh birdlife, seasonal wildflowers, reflective water and sweeping field-to-woodline compositions. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and reflections; spring/fall for migration and flowers. Trailhead parking is available at 155 Ballard Rd; no fee. Boardwalks are mostly flat—good for gear but bring bug spray and waterproof boots after rain. Weekday mornings are quiet.
