Connecticut experiences a moderate climate with unique hiking opportunities each season. Spring (March-May) brings mild temperatures and blooming wildflowers, though trails may be muddy. Summer (June-August) offers warm, sunny days ideal for longer hikes, but remember to stay hydrated.
Autumn (September-November), with its cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage, is often considered the best time for hiking. Winter (December-February), while cold, presents a serene landscape for those prepared for snowy conditions.
Check the weather before heading out and gear up accordingly. Connecticut's official state website (
