Things To Do

Eli Cannons Tap Room

Eli Cannons Tap Room was the Connecticut innovator of the modern 'beer bar'. With 35 different microbrewed beers on tap, a full American food menu, you’ll find great food, great atmosphere, and great people.

Concentric Brewing Company

When three extremely (somewhat) well-rounded individuals with a healthy passion for brewing great beer converge, Concentric Brewing Company is born. After years of careful planning, recipe design and a relentless search for a location, we are thrilled to call Portland, CT our home! Convenient and easy access from Rts. 9 & 91 and immediately off the Arrigoni Bridge that spans the Connecticut River.

Wadsworth Falls State Park

Enjoy hiking or biking 4.5 miles of varied trails or explore the park’s namesake falls. For a longer stay, head to the park’s designated swimming and picnic area, fish the cold waters of the Coginchaug River, and relax beneath great hemlocks and noble oak where nature provides her own air conditioning.

Dinosaur State Park

A 200-million-year-old fossil trackway, nature trails, arboretum, and interactive exhibits bring the Mesozoic era to life. Explore a paleontological museum and enjoy the outdoors...all in one trip in a park like no other. The Park features over 750 early Jurassic dinosaur footprints — one of the largest dinosaur track sites in North America — preserved in place viewable inside the museum, alongside exhibits about dinosaurs, fossils, Connecticut geology, and modern live animals.
