The Avon Land Trust and Avon Recreation & Parks Department have organized a family-friendly walk along the essentially flat Farmington River Red Trail in Fisher Meadows.

The complete circuit of Fisher Meadows covers 4 miles. There is a convenient cut-off that makes for a 2-mile hike. We will be done with the complete hike around noon. Bring your friends and family!

As 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.
