Join us for a beautiful fall outing at Sweetwater Creek State Park! We will meet at the Visitor Center and

enjoy the Red Trail, also known as the History Trail. This popular, family-friendly 1-mile hike follows the

rushing rapids of Sweetwater Creek, with beautiful views of gold and orange fall leaves reflected on the

water. The trail ends at the historic brick ruins of the New Manchester textile mill, making it a perfect mix

of nature, history, and adventure.

After the hike, families are welcome to stay and play, relax by the water, or pack a picnic lunch to enjoy

with friends. Bring water, comfortable walking shoes, and a picnic blanket in case the tables are full.

This is a simple, fun, and refreshing way to enjoy the season, connect with other families, and make a

sweet outdoor memory together.
