Fruit Farms in Connecticut August 11, 2022 Lysa Allman-Baldwin Can you suggest a few places where we can see the fall foliage in Connecticut? People come from all across the country every year to experience the fall foliage in New England and the amazing colors found in Connecticut are among the biggest draws. As you might imagine, there are numerous places to get your autumn-hue eye candy on. You can even embark upon a fall foliage road trip that will take you to some spectacular spots including Kent Falls, Haystack Mountain, and the West Cornwall Covered Bridge, just to name a few. Where can I find some kid-friendly hikes in Connecticut? Connecticut offers some of the best hikes in the country, many of which are great for kids or adults who want to get out and enjoy but not embark upon a very arduous journey. One of the most popular in the Constitution State is located within Devil’s Hopyard State Park. The trail extends about two miles and the scenery along the way is jaw-dropping. You’ll traverse past rocky outcroppings, verdant carpeted forest, and loads of soaring trees. You’ll also find numerous viewpoints where you can just take in the beauty of the surrounding State Park landscape. I’m looking for a good brewery in Hartford. Hartford is a great town and there are some really great breweries dotted all over the city. One of them — Alvarium — doesn’t just have great beer, but it also offers a great family-friendly environment too! The interior design is beautiful, and you can see straight into the beer production area, which gives visitors a unique perspective on what goes into the delicious libations they’re drinking.
