Town of Colchester

This suburban town is conveniently located just 30 minutes from the shoreline to the south and Hartford to the north. Covering nearly 50 square miles, Colchester is rich with state parks and beautiful farmlands. The Salmon River State Forest offers ample opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, and picnicking. Colchester is also home to Comstock Bridge, one of Connecticut’s last three remaining covered bridges, which connects East Hampton to Colchester while spanning the Salmon River. After a day of adventure, unwind at Priam Vineyards, where you can enjoy wine tastings, picnics, and summer concerts.
