Connecticut State No Child Left Inside®

NCLI® Great Outdoor Pursuit 2021

This summers Great Outdoor Pursuit program was a success! Families were able to get outside locally, and within our CT State Parks, Forests and Wildlife Management Areas for some healthy fun and exercise, all while making memories together.

Our State Parks

Whether camping, swimming, boating, horseback riding, biking, letterboxing, hiking, or fishing, Connecticut’s vast system of state parks and forests has something to offer every outdoor enthusiast, including the NCLI Mascot Nuts 2.

Outdoor Activities

Enjoy time outdoors in CT this fall with your family and friends. There are so many things to do outside in CT State Parks and Forests that can be active or relaxing, but all of which are fun. Families can view fall foliage, take a scenic hike in the woods or walk along the beach; grab your bike and pedal along one of the many biking trails; visit nature centers and participate in fall-themed programs or learn about the history of the parks and forests while visiting museums.
