Guided train trail walk for the holidays

  • Gillette Castle State Park 67 River Road East Haddam, CT, 06423 United States (map)

Come to the castle for the holidays! Join a guided hike of the train trail, stay for the hot cider, free music and festive atmosphere!

This hike follows the route of William Gillette's narrow-gauge train. Gillette's train system runs through very scenic areas of the 122 acre state park, with numerous historic features along the way. The hike is an about an hour and fifteen minutes, and is a gentle and flat trail with a couple of brief scrambles.

Sturdy shoes and warm clothing is recommended. To ensure the comfort of all hikers, please leave your pets at home, or take a walk without a trail guide (leashed dogs are allowed at the park). We will meet at the Visitor Center. We hope to see you there!

Hikes for the holiday season are scheduled each weekend day, from Friday November 24 through Sunday December 17, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Registration is recommended to ensure your spot.
