Start at 1:30 PM. The trail is about 2 miles long, a moderate hike, family friendly.

On the hike along the Miller Trail in Kettletown State Park, we will pass a charcoal hearth site, seasonal views of Lake Zoar, old stone walls, and evidence of the destruction caused in the park by the tornado of May 15, 2018. This is a loop trail. Not stroller friendly. Hikers should wear sturdy footwear, and bring water and a snack. The hike is moderate, with the usual Connecticut up and down.
If time and interest allow, we will take a small diversion to see some of the damage in the park from the flood of August 18, 2024
