DEEP’s annual FREE family Winter Festival provides fun for the entire family with many exciting and fun winter activities taking place from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Children and adults can spend time together outdoors and try ice fishing (ice dependent), go on a hike, try snowshoeing, play winter games, and view a host of demonstrations from LL Bean, Resources in Search and Rescue (rescue dogs), and more. Families may also gather around fire pits for a good old-fashioned marshmallow roast and enjoy story-time by the bonfire.
Parking: Please park in the main parking lot at Burr Pond. There will be overflow parking in the Burr Pond Boat Launch Ramp parking area as well as at the Litchfield County Regional Fire School located at 606 Burr Mountain Road, Torrington.
