What a beautiful and extensive place. In one not-too-large area are a nice variety of habitats and views - woods, swamp, lake-shore, scenic heights. There are extensive marked trails, and occasional explanatory signs. My wife and I were originally going to come here in May for the excellent birdwatching opportunities. We delayed our travels because of the pandemic and visited in November, when there are far fewer birds. But it was so lovely, I was happy to be there anyway. I hope to come back when the visitors center reopens and the bird migration is passing through. The location is also near several good restaurants and shops in Bantam and Litchfield. I didn't answer Tripadvisor's question about length of visit, because there are lots of possibilities, from a short half-hour trail to a couple days exploring various trails.

Popped in without reserving a tour, expecting just to maybe get a quick tasting. We were met at the door and offered a tour - which was very informative and our host was very friendly and patient with all of our questions. The tasting began with a drink from one of the barrels! Very generous tasting covered their range of bourbons, vodkas, gin, and canned mixed beverages - eat before you come!!! Not from the area (was up doing some leaf peeping), but will likely return. Enjoyed everything we tasted (one of us is a serious whiskey fan and the other not at all), as there is something for just about every taste. I think the shop could do with maybe selling smaller bottles. Not everyone is willing to spend that amount, and some might be more willing to take a few home if the price tag isn't as high. (Not that it's not worth it, but I just think not everyone who is doing tasting tours wants to buy that much)

A beautiful walk in the woods with the fall foliage in full color was delightful! Trail was mostly easy until close to the top where it got a lot more rugged. It was popular but socially distant. The trail and tower are well-maintained. Beach area looked very nice for swim and fish.
