WalkCT Family Rambles

Walk CT Family Rambles

Take a break from the daily grind and join us for a refreshing adventure. WalkCT Family Rambles bring families, fun, and the outdoors together. Led by trained WalkCT Family Guides, these engaging outings are offered at trails around the state on the last weekend of every month.

WalkCT Family Rambles are free as a public service to the children and families of Connecticut. Pre-registration is appreciated, but not required for most WalkCT Family Rambles. Check ramble descriptions for registration guidelines. Locations are subject to change; return to this page for updates and new postings. Babies in secure backpacks are welcome.

 

To prepare for a safe and enjoyable WalkCT Family Ramble:

  1. Be ready to begin the Ramble at the scheduled start time;
  2. Bring water, a snack, any allergy or other prescribed medications you may need, and your excitement;
  3. Leave pets at home or other safe place (unless otherwise noted in the ramble description);
  4. Wear sturdy shoes; and
  5. Kids, please remember to bring your parents or caregivers.
