Wickham Park Is open the first weekend in April and closes the last weekend in October. Entrances fees are $5 Monday-Friday and $7 Saturday-Sunday. The park is known for its 250 acres of open fields, wildflowers, gardens, ponds and nature center. There is no where else can you go have a picnic with a stunning view of Hartford. Another huge attraction at the park is its remarkable disc golf course home of The Greater Hartford disc golf tournament.

Wickham is special because it does have so much variety! Great disc golf course, pretty sights and spaces, and kids love the little playground and the nature center, which has a variety of birds.

Hike the Cotton Hollow Nature Preserve

There are two parking locations for Cotton Hollow, the location tagged in the directions is the shortest hike to the old gun powder mill. Suggestions when it comes to exploring the preserve are to stay on the trails, know your limits, and enjoy! There are swimming holes along the river, but swim at your own risk and again, please know your limits. Enjoy the cool water on a hot summer day! Fact...

Hike to Blackledge Falls

Although the park contains hiking trails, a pond and a streambelt, the primary draw of this parcel of land is the 25 foot waterfall. The falls flow varies depending on the volume of precipitation, from a trickle in the dry months to a three-pronged vertical drop after some consistent snow melt or rain fall.Blackledge Falls Park by itself is an easy, family-friendly hike or single track mountain...

Hike to the Heublein Tower on Talcott Mountain

The Heublien Tower Trail, located just inside the Talcott Mountain State Park entrance off of Route 185 in Simsbury CT, is a short 1.25 miles. While the hike isn't long, the first 1/3 of a mile is a steep incline that will get your heart pumping. The trail itself it very well kept, and although it is steep, it is not technical. It is a family friendly hike through typical Connecticut deciduous...

Hike to Glen Falls

Accessing Glen Falls may be a little tricky at first. Parking will be very minimal, you will park on Grist Mill Ln. Hop onto the road and you will see the trail map on the left side. The adventure begins when you cross the street and go through the gate with the yellow blaze symbol. Keep following the blaze for about 1/3 mile. The beauty from the woods to the waterfall makes for a great adventu...

Hike the Ragged Mountain Memorial Preserve

Ragged Mountain main loop is approximately 5.5 miles long, and is known for its expansive bare-rock vistas, vertical cliff faces, and scenic views overlooking cliff-side reservoirs and ponds. The trail is rated moderate, with some flat stretches among the trees, mixed with some uneven rocky footing, especially closer to the preserve’s cliff faces. The main loop can be traveled in either direc...

Hike the Crescent Lake & Metacomet Trail Loop

The hike to view Crescent Lake is peaceful. You can either walk through the woods where you will be blessed with natures finest birds and wildlife or you can take the trail along the lake edge. Both are similar distances and lead to the same hill at the end! Once you get to the top take a left on the Blue Trail (Metacomet) which leads you to the stunning vista! Well worth a hike to see.
