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

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 New Canaan, there will be:

Trail Maintenance & Nature Walk on Saturday, June 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the New Canaan Nature Center
