5 Outdoor Activities in Danbury That You Shouldn't Miss
The strangers on Alfred Hitchcock's most famous train began their journey at Danbury, Connecticut's main station, along with thousands of other travelers over time. Now converted into the Danbury Railway Museum, the station and yards are open to visitors, with a collection of historic railroad cars and equipment. Just a few miles outside of the city's pretty historic center is Bear Mountain Reservation, a quiet forest parkland with hiking trails overlooking the calm waters of Candlewood Lake.

This beautiful mansion and park are situated on over 700 acres, with several ponds and lakes, miles and miles of trails, and plentiful space for picnicking. I think people sometimes forget that this is a park as well as a mansion/wedding facility, so it generally isn't as full as some of the state parks, making this an ideal destination for walking and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. You can also fish here during fishing season. The trails are still open for COVID, although you're not allowed to use the picnic tables due to concerns over sufficient disinfecting.

Absolutely beautiful hike. Easy terrain with gentle slopes and excellent views. Lots of sightings today: deer, red headed woodpecker, squirrels, blue jays, hares and many birds. Excellent views of Candlewood Lake and trails that connect to it. Beautiful way to spend an afternoon
