Description: Wadsworth Falls - join me in this moderately easy hike as I ease back into hiking after foot surgery back in November. It will be around 4 miles with mostly even footing. We will hike to the large falls (avoiding the little falls with its steep route) and then go on a variety of trails to the Purple Bridge Trail which we will follow back to our cars. Depending upon conditions we walk at a pace of about 2 mph. We may need spikes and poles to navigate icy footing. Please bring water and a snack and dress appropriately for winter hiking (hiking boots, layers, etc). Possible pizza lunch after the hike (new pizza place Hot Rock Pizza might be open by this date!).

Registration preferred but not required. (if you register you will get an email the day before the hike confirming trail and weather conditions).
We will meet at 9:15 AM to start hike promptly at 9:30 AM. The end time of this activity is only an estimate. We will meet at the main entrance of Wadsworth Falls State Park located on CT route 157 (NOT the Cherry Hill Road entrance).
