Winter is over, and spring is in the air. It just makes sense that you’re looking for new ways to get outside and explore the beauty around Hamden, CT. So, if you’re looking for some spring activities you can do around town, we’ve got some great ideas just for you.
3 Spring Activities You Can Drive to Near Hamden, CT
Hike, Bike, and Swim at Wadsworth Falls State Park
Warmer weather means it’s time to get outside. Pack your picnic basket and your bike in the spacious cargo area of your Ford Explorer Platinum and make the short drive to 18 Ranger Rd. Once you get there, pick one of the many hiking or biking trails to see gorgeous waterfalls.
Once you’ve completed your hike, be sure to stop at the swimming area to cool off. Then, you’ll want to stop at the picnic area to have your lunch. Or, if fishing is more your thing, there’s also a stocked pond in the park, ready for you to spend some time catching local favorites.
Get Ice Cream from Wentworth’s
Looking for a fresh and local treat? Then you need to swing into Wentworth Homemade Ice Cream at 3697 Whitney Ave. Find a spot at a picnic table or the inside the gazebo and enjoy a cone or a hot fudge sundae. Don’t let this small home storefront fool you: their prices and portions are worth it.
You can also order online from their full menu. Make sure you pick up a pint or quart of their delicious homemade ice cream to take back home and stick in the freezer. You can even buy their sprinkles and hot fudge by the pint, too, so you always have sundae ingredients on hand.
Visit the Goats at Hindinger Farm
What better way to enjoy a sunny day than visiting a working farm and meeting the animals? At Hindinger Farm, located at 835 Dunbar Hill Rd, you can visit the goat pen and see the friendly kids, then hop over to the picnic and play area for a safe, fenced-in playground where kids can play, and adults can sit back and relax.
Before you leave, make sure to stop in at their farm stand for farm fresh produce, which rotates with the seasons. You can also browse their gift shop, where you can find local honey and maple syrup, a variety of canned goods like salsa, pickles, and preserves, as well as kitchen tools and accessories.
We hope these fun springtime activities provide you with some sun and relaxation. While you’re enjoying some time outside, be sure to stop in and visit us at Bob Thomas Ford. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, we’ll custom-order it for you!
