Featured Activities

Winter is upon us-snow has fallen and the days are getting colder. Winter is a great time of year to go outside, stay active and explore. Getting outside is important but staying healthy and safe is always top priority. Our Connecticut State Parks and Forests offer plenty of opportunities for you to get outside. Please be sure to practice proper social distancing and refrain from congregating.

A few things to remember before heading out and while you are out exploring:

1) Dress in layers

2) Wear appropriate footwear

3) Stay hydrated

4) Bring your cell phone

5) Take a map with you if hiking
