Take a (Family) Hike! Celebrate CT Trails at Wadsworth Falls State Park

Celebrate CT Trails Day weekend by
joining The Rockfall Foundation (www.rockfallfoundation.org) and
Everyone Outside (www.everyoneoutside.org) for local fun and exploration at Wadsworth Falls State
Park and the Captain's Field. This is perfect for families with kids of
all ages.

Time: 1 p.m. to 4:30 pm; Rain date:
June 9.



Everyone Outside naturalist, Lucy
Meigs, will lead us on a fun 2- to 2.5-mile family hike followed
by light refreshments provided by Rockfall. We will look for
interesting plants, trees, creatures and their homes and do a treasure hunt for
a letterbox on our route through these beautiful woods.

Meet at the Big Falls parking lot (not
the main one) for Wadsworth Falls State Park, which is just north of Connwood
Foresters (39 Cherry Hill Road, Middlefield). Extra parking will also be
available at Connwood Foresters for hikers.

PM.  We will contact all who have registered in the morning of June 2 if
we need to postpone for weather.

Wadsworth Falls
State Park was created through the generosity of

the Rockfall Corporation and its founder, Clarence S. Wadsworth, who owned the
267 acres of land as part of his holdings that included Long Hill Estate. 
According to his wishes, this  land, the "Rockfall Tract of Great

Falls Region," was donated to the state of CT shortly after Wadsworth's

death in 1942.  Rockfall is named after the beloved rock falls in the

park.

The Captain's
Field is 16 acres on Cherry Hill Road that
abuts Wadsworth Falls State Park and is owned by The Rockfall Foundation.
