Discover Avon's and adjacent towns' hiking trails by joining hike leaders Tom, Norm, and Jeff for a stress-free group hike every month! This hiking group is the perfect opportunity to explore/learn about Avon's parks & hiking trails, advance your hiking skills, and hike with great company. All levels are welcome. Hikes will be led at a social pace, 2-3 hours, 3-4 miles (with one possible exception that allows hikers to shorten the hike), on moderate trails. Co-sponsored by the Avon Land Trust.
An e-mail notification will be sent by 7:15 AM the day of the hike if a hike is cancelled due to bad weather.
Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy sneakers or hiking boots if you have them. Hiking poles are encouraged. Bring water and a mask (for cold months).
