Come explore the Town of Bloomfield’s Wilcox Park and a portion of the Metacomet Trail atop the region’s traprock ridge that connects Bloomfield to East Granby to the north and West Hartford to the south. We will follow the yellow trail through the meadow, over a brook, through the woods, and past a vernal pool to connect with the blue-blazed Metacomet Trail along the ridgeline. While taking in views of the Farmington River Valley to the west, we will proceed to the Buck Property recently donated as an addition to the park before descending to the start. The approximately 3 mile route is moderately difficult, and leashed dogs are permitted. The rain date is Sunday, June 4. RSVP is appreciated.

The event is one of many in Bloomfield and around the state that are part of Connecticut Trails Day. Thousands of people from all backgrounds, ages, abilities, and interests come together with a simple, common purpose: to celebrate the many hiking, biking, paddling, letterboxing, and equestrian experiences Connecticut’s trails have to offer!
