Nearly every town and every trail in Connecticut is ready for you this weekend, which is Connecticut Trails Day Weekend.

There are more than 500 miles of trails in Connecticut, and this weekend, 259 of the state’s trails in 152 towns will be hosting outdoor activities for everyone.

From hiking to biking; running to horseback riding; maintenance to educational walks; and bird watching to kayaking or canoeing, our state trails have it all. These events are guided by knowledgeable volunteers from local hiking clubs, parks and recreation departments, state agencies, conservation organizations, historic groups, education programs, and land trusts.

In Newtown, there will be:

Hiking with the Newtown Forest Association Property & Trails on Saturday, June 1, beginning at 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Al’s Trail and NFA private property

Enjoy the trails and enjoy your weekend.
