This was a cool walk around a pond. There were some cool rocks around the pond, and a farm-like area at the start of the trail.

This was a fun hike. Most of the trail was in Ridgefield, and you can read more about our visit on that page. The pictures below are from the Danbury section.

Farrington Woods

Date visited: 1/15/2023

We actually parked here for our visit to the Maybrook Trailway that starts in Danbury, but is otherwise entirely located in New York State. Since we were here, we checked out a bit of the woods before making our way to the rail trail. We walked a small loop trail that included a steep hill the dogs had fun climbing down.

This is the eastern most trailhead for the Maybrook Trailway. Only the very start of the trail is in Connecticut, before entering New York.

Candlewood Park

Date visited: 3/5/2023

We were driving by and I spotted a painted rock with a dog face, and decided to stop for some pictures. This was across the street from Candlewood Park, which looked like a pretty nice park with a lake. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed at this park. We only took pictures right at the entrance and then headed back to the car.

Rogers Park

Date visited: 5/23/2025

It was a week of just awful weather, but I was able to find some sun in the evening here. We started our adventure at this park, before making our way down Main Street, before heading to Elmwood Park and the downtown area. There are two parts to this park. The first part is mostly athletic fields, and the second part contains the War Memorials.
