Stratford is situated along the coastline of Long Island
Sound. Tidal wetlands, beaches, dunes and other coastal resource areas comprise most of the southerly portions of town. The
Housatonic River which is a saline environment up to the Sikorsky Bridge (Rt. 15), fringes the east, while the inland waters
of the Farmill River delineate the northerly town boundary. These two distinct environments, tidal and inland water resources,
are attributes that increase the town’s recreation opportunities. The landscape of Stratford varies greatly, from the
beaches and dunes along the Sound to the rolling hills of Farmill River Park and Roosevelt Forest Nature Preserve. This allows
residents a high degree of recreational diversity. Some of these opportunities include boating, swimming, fishing (salt and
fresh water), hiking, mountain biking, ice skating, birding, and picnicking.
