SUMMARY:First Day Hike on the Miller Trail
DESCRIPTION:Will you be up early in the day on New Year’s Day? Will you still be up after the night’s celebration? What better way to welcome the new year than a hike on the Miller Trail in Kettletown State Park\, Southbury\, CT !! \nStart at 1:30 PM. The trail is about 2 miles long\, a moderate hike\, family friendly. \nOn the hike along the Miller Trail in Kettletown State Park\, we will pass a charcoal hearth site\, seasonal views of Lake Zoar\, old stone walls\, and evidence of the destruction caused in the park by the tornado of May 15\, 2018. This is a loop trail. Not stroller friendly. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear\, and bring water and a snack. The hike is moderate\, with the usual Connecticut up and down. \nIf time and interest allow\, we will take a small diversion to see some of the damage in the park from the flood of August 18\, 2024 \nAny questions or concerns\, call the hike leader Bob McGarry at 475-337-1523\, or e-mail at bernieandbob@charter.net. \nRain\, snow\, or any precipitation cancels.

SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday Hikes at Highlawn Forest
DESCRIPTION:**THE GIVING TUESDAY HIKES HAVE BEEN POSTPONED TO WEDNESDAY DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER**\nCelebrate Giving Tuesday on the trail! Join us on Wednesday for a day of fresh air\, community\, and connection on the Highlawn Trail in Rockfall! We’ll be leading guided hikes at 10 AM\, 1 PM\, with a special Moonlit Hike at 6 PM to close the day under the stars. \nThe 2.2-mile loop takes you through the beautiful Highlawn Forest\, a hidden gem nestled behind CFPA’s headquarters on the Middletown/Middlefield town line. Once open farm fields\, this second-growth forest now features conifer plantations\, mixed hardwood stands\, and red maple swamps that provide habitat for a variety of wildlife. The trails are mostly flat and gentle—perfect for young or beginner hikers—and follow old fire lanes from the property’s days as a tree farm. \nCome celebrate the spirit of Giving Tuesday by spending time in nature\, exploring Connecticut’s trails\, and supporting the work that keeps them open and thriving. \n$5 suggested donation online\, Venmo\, or cash.
