No Child Left Inside

A stream in the woods.

Welcome to No Child Left Inside℠, a special initiative of Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell, coordinated by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection to encourage Connecticut families and visitors alike to enjoy all the recreational resources and outdoor activities available in Connecticut's state parks, forests and waterways. From Kent Falls in Kent to Stratton Brook in Simsbury to Fort Trumbull in New London, it's time to discover the great outdoors!

EVERYONE IS A WINNER WITH THE GREAT PARK PURSUIT 2008

Hundreds of Connecticut families accepted the third Great Park Pursuit challenge to visit different state parks and forests over a seven-week period as part of a unique Connecticut State Parks Family Adventure! These teams enjoyed a variety of activities – from canoeing at Hammonasset Beach State Park to hiking during Connecticut Trails Day to picnicking at Harkness Memorial State Park – with over 170 families ultimately competing for grand prize packages at Peoples State Forest.
