About Winding Trails, Farmington CT
The 5K route at Winding Trails is well marked with Reid's Run/Walk 5K mile-markers and arrows. The venue is perfect for this event, with unpaved trails meandering through a fragrant forest landscape and around a lake. The terrain is suitable for all ages and is stroller-friendly. Winding Trails is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to preservation and stewardship of over 380 acres of natural woodlands and waterways. As you enter the property you are immediately welcomed by the beautiful pristine 80 acre Dunning Lake. This is a popular destination for summer swimming, fishing, boating, and picnicking. As you make your way further into the property you will come to the camp area with sports fields, pavilions, and buildings. From here you must exit your car and get on foot or bike and truly begin to explore the rustic beauty of the area with its 12.5 miles of trails, Walton Pond, wildlife, and Nature’s Porch.
