New Years Day hikes planned at 15 Connecticut state parks

Guided hikes will be offered on New Year’s Day at 15 parks and recreation areas across Connecticut, including in Southbury.  The free First Day Hikes, which average one or two miles, are being hosted by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. It’s part of America’s State Parks’ First Day Hikes initiative, which is taking place in all 50 states on Wednesday.  Kettletown State Park hosts a 2 mile, moderate hike at 1pm, meeting at the trail head for Miller Trail.  This hike will offer views of much of the tornado damage from May 2018.  Dogs are allowed on leash.  The goal of the First Day hikes is to encourage people to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the new year with friends and family. Parks staff and volunteers will lead the hikes.  First Day Hikes began more than 25 years ago at the Blue Hills Reservation, a state park south of Boston.
