Hiking/Walking

Wednesday & Friday hikes last about two to three hours. We hike in Westport-Weston and surrounding areas on moderate trails enjoying the beauty of nature. Wednesday's hikes are moderate  but are hilly at times and are usually done in Trout Brook, Devil's Den, Colis Huntington State Park, or in Wilton. The hikes last about 1.5 hours and are followed by a hearty lunch at a local pub. Friday hikes are difficult and require hiking up rocky inclines. These hikes take place locally and throughout southern Connecticut. They can last longer then 2 hours. Finally every Sunday morning we walk along the coastal areas of Norwalk, Westport, and Southport. These hikes tend to be long, as much as 8 miles. Typically we have up to about 14 Y's Men on a hike and there is a wonderful sense of camaraderie among the group. All are welcome!

"The Y's Men's hiking group enjoy a scenic rest during their hike." 

On Tuesdays our walks are one and a half to two hours enjoying the beauty of surrounding areas such as Sherwood Island, Southport, Bell Island, Fairfield Audubon, Saugatuck Shores, as well as the Saugatuck & Aspetuck Valley Trails, the Housatonic Rail Trails, Devil's Den and other various sites within 30 minutes from Westport. We try to pick trails that are fairly level and have interesting and beautiful scenery. These walks are followed by lunch at a restaurant near the site of the walk. The friendships that are made on these walks are usually long term and the effect is to have a very tightly knit group that welcomes newcomers. Join us for a great experience.
