The 10 Best Other Outdoor Activities in Connecticut, United States

December 16, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Lions Head

Reviewed By Mperg11 - Torrington, United States

This hike is a great little one and my favorite around! You can just hike up to lions head and turn around or continue on the AT, which runs through this, to make you to Bear Mt. and Sages Ravine. Great spot!

Sunbeam Fleet

Reviewed By S1804VUpatrickm

We've always had a great time w/ Sunbeam Fleet. The captains always get you on the fish, and the mates work hard to help keep the fishing going. Event on a few trips w/ younger kids, the captain and crew are patient, fun, and work hard to make sure everyone has a great experience. Book a private charter or join one of the party boat trips with confidence that the Sunbeam fleet folks will deliver a great day on the water!
