Go to Winding Trails!
For those of you who haven't heard of this wonderful place, Winding Trails is a year-round recreational camp in Farmington, CT. In the summer, you can take a long swim in Dunning Lake, play soccer in the upper fields, or just enjoy hanging out with the family. And in the wintertime... there are so many options!
Walton Pond, a new, manmade pond at Winding Trails, freezes over every winter. Once the ice is thick enough, the staff at Winding Trails open up the icy rink to the public for ice skating. With the pond frozen over, you have a nice, big rink to skate on! You can bring your own skates, or you can rent a pair from the shack near the frozen pond! Bring some friends and family, and spend the day!
If you aren't too big on skating, you can also go snow tubing! One of the main attractions of Winding Trails is the HUGE hill that people sled down on! Be sure to bring your sleds or you inflatable tubes, make some handmade jumps out of the snow, and enjoy! A blast for both kdis and adults, this is a definite activity to include in your schedule!
Another exciting activity is Winding Trails' most popular, cross- country skiing. Winding Trails has miles of freshly-snow plowed trails running throughout their woods. This is a very relaxing, and fun activity you should definitely try! Rent out a pairs of skis, and pick a trail. Each trail leads you through the magical, beautiful, peaceful paths of Winding Trails.
There are many other programs Winding Trails has to offer, but these are my personal favorites! Be sure to try it sometime when you and the kids have a day off!
