First Day Hike, Dinosaur State Park
January 1 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
This is not a Democratic Town Committee Event
Dinosaur State Park – Rocky Hill, CT
Join Dinosaur State Park staff and the Friends of Dinosaur State Park from 10:00am – 1:00pm for a guided hike on the Red Trail. Please meet at the Dinosaur State Park Outdoor Track Casting Area (towards the left side of the building when entering from the visitor parking lot).
The Red Trail is approximately 0.3 miles and very flat, making it appropriate for all ages. However, please make sure to wear appropriate winter footwear as the trail is mostly along a boardwalk which may be slippery when wet. The guided walk will take approximately 15-20 minutes. No pets are allowed on trails other than service animals (on a leash). Hikers should bring water and snacks as needed, and dress appropriately for the cold weather.
From 10:00am – 1:00pm, Dinosaur State Park will also have a Tree Cookie New Years Resolution table activity, campfire, and hot refreshments provided by the Friends of Dinosaur Park and Arboretum. These events will be taking place in the Track Casting Area.
Please note that the indoor Exhibit Center will be closed throughout the event and there is only one clivus/composting toilet which is located to right side of casting area
No registration needed
Cancellation due to inclement weather will be posted on the Dinosaur State Park Instagram page. If cancelled, this event will not be rescheduled
