any MTB near Portland Ct.?

working on my boat Sunday, then I want to go MTB with my son and anyone who wants to join in. Thinking Cockaponsett but wondering if anything else is local to Portland and decent singletrack?

Meshomasic State forest, place is huge and you probably need a guide or a good gps track to follow or else you will probably just be riding fire road aimlessly. I've only been there once but do want to get back again soon.

thanks Jeff. Looked that up and also found Hurd State park, as well as a few other places. Turns out a guy i work with lives on the street where parking is for meshomasic...Think I'm going to check out Hurd, right on the river, which means I can keep my bearing a bit better.

Millers pond is pretty close

Hartman Park in Lyme isn't too far away.

thanks guys. If Hurd is any indication of the other trails down that way, i'm going back for sure. Planning on a few weekends on the boat, mountain bikes packed, and hitting that area. Hurd was great; I wrote a review.
