You can view the location on the map above. The entrance to Quinnipiac Meadows is near 1040 Quinnipiac Ave. Here is a link to the street view: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.315521,-72.877549,3a,75y,322.69h,85.7t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s1gWlwi0TzO0M7CSw0mRE3g!2e0?hl=en

I have been there. The problem is it is isolated. If a crime was committed it would be difficult to get help.

I would be way to scared to ever enter that area without a gun...

I've been there many times and never felt in danger. There are beautiful trails and lots of wildlife. You should go check it out Cecilia!

Bottom line if someone wanted to harm someone this would be a perfect place because it is so isolated.

XYZ doesn't know where it is, but now he's been there? How is this helpful to the original request?

XYZ is a troll.

I realize I was there after the location was given. It is near the railroad overpass. I think someone by the name of Fargeorge had something to do with creating it.
Steve, why would you call me a troll? You would think people on this site would be above name calling.

Thanks for your comments. We hope you all get a chance to visit the preserve!

Ticks start being a problem around April.

Ticks are everywhere outside and crime is everywhere! I am not going to live my life in fear. The preserve is great! I've been there many times and will continue to go. It is a little bit of heaven (for folks like me who like to be outdoors and in the woods) near my house in a busy, noisy & crowded world.

Ticks may be everywhere but it is bad there.

I live directly in front of the preserve ,I am out there all the time year round. Great place to walk ,I enjoy the stillness and the sounds of nature , we have seen many different types of animals and birds on the preserve, it's great. Deer are very common on the preserve , some nights I swear I hear coyotes or wild dogs. Great public space, keep up the fantastic work that your organization is doing.

Walked there in the evening the other day and heard a large animal moving through the grass, sounded like a rather aggressive coyote

Was there this week and heard a animal moving through the grass and it was a deer.

I am the Audubon Osprey Monitor for the three platforms in the reserve. The Platform on the trail to the left (the furthest inland of them) is way too close to the trail. It failed last year (I wasn't the monitor) and this year, although the pair have been there, there are no babies. I watched as the birds were disturbed by hikers, bikers and dogs. The Mom kept leaving the nest. With this kind of disturbance, these birds will never be able to raise chicks. The trail can't be blocked off during nesting season, but could the platform be moved to a less busy location, or the trail rerouted? One of the other two nests has at least one baby, but haven't seen any at the other, again rather close to the trail.. These nests have to deal with oystermen, trains, fishermen as well as hikers. I am not sure what can be done, but we are stressing the birds. I often see deer and rabbits, as well as smaller birds, when I go to observe the nests, so it is vibrant.
