Pet-Friendly Places in Fairfield County
For the most part, our furry companions have endured the same isolation that we have over the past year; and with the change of seasons and a brighter outlook, Fido, Fifi, Felix, and friends are itching to get out, engage in some serious exercise, and see the sights. Fortunately, the Litchfield Hills are a pet-friendly place that welcomes four-leggers with open arms – to parks and campgrounds, hotels and inns, even restaurants, wineries, and distilleries (anybody have a St. Bernard?). So, if you’ve got a notion to explore, and want to bring your pet along on your travels, you won’t have any problems at all. Here are just a few of the many options in all categories (woof!).

The Best Natural Wonders in Mystic Country
There is plenty to love about Mystic Country, but its abundant natural wonders including hiking trails, waterfalls, and swimming holes, definitely top the list. The best part? Many of these gems are easily accessible and free to the public, thanks to Connecticut’s state park system and preserved and protected land. While life may get pretty busy sometimes, consider this is as a friendly reminder to get outside and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us, even if only for a quick lunch break.
