Clark Outdoors is the best place to rent kayaks, canoes, or rafts to take down the Housatonic River, and is about 20 minutes away. The friendly staff will drop you off at one spot, and pick you up at the end. This is definitely one of the most peaceful ways to enjoy the beauty that northwestern Connecticut has to offer!
*Make sure to reserve your boats in advance.

We love taking our kids for bike rides and easy strolls along the paved paths of the Rail Trail. There are several entrances, but my favorite is the main entrance in Millerton, across from Harney Teas.

This is a small zoo run by Millbrook School, and is under 20 minutes from the property. It is the perfect size for young kids to run around in without getting (too) exhausted.

Places to Eat
The Lantern is a great place to enjoy wood-fired pizza, and is only 10 minutes away. This is our favorite restaurant in the area, and we highly recommend the "heart throb" pizza, especially if you want to try a delicious pizza that is both sweet and spicy! We love to bring the kids here, as there is space for them to run around, but it is also great for casual date nights and takeout.

This is our favorite place for a nice meal out, and it is under 20 minutes away. The food is always DELICIOUS, but you want to make sure to get a reservation in advance, and this place is always booked. The sesame seared tuna with baby bok choy is my favorite, but the specials are always fantastic, and the sushi is great as well!
