Brave the outdoors this winter on these beautiful Connecticut hikes…

Connecticut is one of the most hiking-friendly states in the country. According to the state’s 2020 Forest Action Plan, over 60% of CT is covered in forests. The state also ranks high for urban greenery, meaning most residents live within a short distance of a park or state forest.

Most of Connecticut’s best hiking spots don’t require you to be an outdoor pro or in athlete-quality shape. There are plenty of mellow adventures for even a casual hiker to enjoy.
