Clubs & Activities
Our top suggestions:
  • From downtown Hartford, do a 4-mile loop of two bridges over the
    Connecticut River on maintained foot trails.  A lovely escape from
    the bustle.
  • In New Haven, escape downtown and Yale for an exhilarating
    workout and scenic views up in East Rock Park.  Do a nice loop,
    leaving the car at home.
  • From downtown Stamford, do a lovely 6-to-7 mile loop that optionally
    takes in the area's two beautiful seaside parks.
