Connecticut Trails Day Hike

Date: June 7, 2025
Time: 9:30 am
Location: Mill Brook Park, 147 Pigeon Hill Road, Windsor

Join us in exploring the former Millbrook/Traditions Golf Course in Windsor, now open to hikers and walkers. The hike will be approximately 2.5 miles and take about two hours. From the parking lot, we will walk along the woods, meadows and winding trails (many cart paths) of the former golf course. The area is intentionally being ‘rewilded,’ allowing plants and wildlife to flourish. Moderate terrain (there are some rolling and steep hills). Leashed dogs permitted. There will be no rain date.

Registration required (at left) or visit the CT Trails Day site to choose from many events across the state.
