There are no shortages of lakes, parks, hiking trails, bike trails, golf courses, and so on all over our part of Connecticut. With most COVID restrictions lifted, almost everything is back and in full service for residents to utilize and enjoy to the fullest. We are highlighting a few of what is out there and available in the Greater Danbury area, and there is a lot.

In this article, we are going to take a look at Squantz Pond State Park, Cadigan Park, Candlewood Lake Park, Old Bridge Sanctuary, Williams Park, Candlewood Town Park, Kettletown State Park, Surges Park, Lake Waramaug State Park, Webb Mountain Park, Cozy Hills Campground, Point Folly, Macedonia Brook State Park, Black Rock State Park, Branch Brook Campground, and Housatonic Meadows State Park. From fishing to water skiing to camping and hiking, all of these places will no doubt help satisfy your cravings for those activities and more.

This, by far, is not a complete listing of all that is available out there and, of course, please be aware and follow any posted rules, regulations, and any possible fees that may be assessed at any of the places you visit. I am new to the Connecticut/New York area and it's nice to have so much available that is so close, and after just a short time living here, I now know for sure just how barren Kansas really is.
