Things To Do
Steep Rock Preserve
There are several trails in Washington to explore! For a leisurely stroll through the woods, take the Steep Rock Preserve route to the Railroad tunnel, or detour up to the Clam Shell for a quick walk to a view of the preserve. If you're looking for a peaceful walk along the river, the Hidden Valley Preserve is a great option. For a workout with a rewarding view of Lake Waramaug head to the Macricostas Preserve.
Averill Farm
A tenth generation family farm on a gorgeous hill offering fall fruits: apples & pears, along with goodies from many area farms as well - maple syrup, honey, eggs, tomatoes, squash and pumpkins.
Macricostas Preserve
At the pinnacle there are panoramic views of Lake Waramaug and the surrounding countryside. Named after a chief of the Wyantenock tribe, Lake Waramaug is the second largest natural lake in Connecticut, an ecologically vital habitat for wildlife and a recreational center for the Towns of Washington, Warren and Kent. The awe-inspiring views from the top are a rewarding dividend for the steep hike.
Elephant's Trunk Flea Market
To get great steals & deals you'll want to go early in the morning on Sunday, but you can always find a bargain during a casual mid-morning stroll.
