Fisher Meadows — Attraction in Avon

This recreation center is on 250.45 acres and is open year-round from dawn to dusk. There is a decent-sized gravel parking lot with a small playground with swings, picnic tables, and a pullup bar. There are two entrances to the trails by this parking lot and playground. I saw a huge field that is used for soccer. On the lake, you can fish and use non motorized boats; a boat launch is available.

This recreation area is suitable for walking, jogging, hiking, cross-country skiing, biking, canoeing, bird watching, picnicing, and camping; for camping, you need to get permission from the Town of Avon.

Overall, a great space to enjoy the...

Worth the walk in the road to read the kiosks or the red trail along the River. Remnants of the 19th c Farmington Canal are visible too. History abounds and so much to see and experience. All level walking and hiking. Lots of parking at both trail...
