From riversides to hill country to the seaside on Long Island sound, Connecticut has many wonderful places for walking and hiking. City walks can take you into the historic corners of New Haven and Hartford and the dining and shopping corner known as SoNo in South Norwalk. Gardens are abundant in city parks and in rural areas. The state parks alone could provide a lifetime of great hikes for kids, adults, older people, in all seasons of the year.
