Sikorsky Bridge Bikeway/Walkway

The Sikorsky Bridge Bikeway/Walkway was opened to the public during the first quarter of 2007.  The walkway is accessible from either Ryder's Landing in Stratford or Wheeler's Farm Road in Milford.  The walkway is paved, end-to-end, and provides spectacularly scenic views of the Housatonic River, Milford, Shelton, Stratford, and the islands in the Housatonic River.  There is no admission fee for using the walkway.  Public restaurants are located at Ryder's Landing.
