The Avon Land Trust and Avon Recreation and Parks Department have organized a family-friendly walk along the essentially flat Farmington River Red Trail in Fisher Meadows. The complete circuit of Fisher Meadow covers 4 miles.  There is a convenient cut-out that makes for a 2-mile hike. We will be done with the complete hike around Noon.  Bring your friends and family!
Always wear good hiking shoes and bring sufficient water for a two-hour hike.  Hiking poles and bug/tick spray are recommended.   It is tick season.  It is wise to tuck your pants into your socks and wear tick-repellant clothing. Finally, in the event of a bad weather postponement, an email will be sent by 7:30 AM Sunday with a make-up date. Distance: 4 miles (with opportunity to shorten for a 2-mile hike)
