Afternoon Hike With Kids Near Fairfield County, CT: Ward Reservation
Submitted by Katie McKnight on
Now that I’m looking out the window and seeing…sunshine, I want to capitalize on it. I’m not sure how long this sunshine is planning on sticking around, so we are heading out the door immediately to cram in as many outdoor activities as we possibly can. Happily, the Fairfield County area offers no end of possibilities for those interested in biking, beaching, or hiking.
First on our list…a hike. Water bottles are filled, snacks are packed, and One Direction is queued on my playlist (why, yes, I do have pre-teen girls…). We are headed for an afternoon of hiking at one of our favorite spots: Ward Reservation. Ward Reservation is just over the New York border in Pound Ridge, about a 30 minute drive from lower Fairfield County. Or, according to my eldest, 9 Taylor Swift songs away from our house.
