1/1/2025 - First Day Hike in Kettletown State Park Hike the Miller Trail in Kettletown State Park this January first. We will pass a charcoal hearth site, seasonal views of Lake Zoar, old stone walls, and evidence of the destruction caused in the park by the tornado of May 15, 2018. The trail is about 2 miles long, a moderate hike, family friendly. This is a loop trail. Not stroller friendly. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear, and bring water and a snack. The hike is moderate, with the usual Connecticut up and down. If time and interest allow, we will take a small diversion to see some of the damage in the park from the flood of August 18, 2024. Rain, snow, or any precipitation on the day of the hike cancels. Over 2” of snow already on the ground cancels. 25 people max. Registration required. ### Event: First Day Hike in Kettletown State Park Event Date: 1/1/2025 Event Time: 9:30 AM Admission Fee: Free Registration Deadline: 1/1/2025 Registration Instructions: Register at: https://ctwoodlands.org/events-calendar/first-day-hike-at-kettletown-state-park Event Organizers/Contact: Connecticut Forest & Park Association | bernieandbob@charter.net | 475-337-1523 Event Location: Kettletown State Park, 1400 Georges Hill Rd., Southbury, CT 06488 Archives
