Ready, Set, Go Outdoors! Connecticut Trails Day is June 6 & 7. Explore 200+ FREE outdoor adventures!
The Discovery Path follows the coastline and wanders through the UConn Avery Point campus. There are eight interpretive signs along the Path that share information about four themes: history and culture, land and water, sustainability and justice, and wellness and creativity. The content on these signs changes every few months to highlight unique sights, features, and activities throughout campus.
This Path is coordinated in conjunction with Nature Rx, UConn Avery Point, UConn Student Health and Wellness, CT Sea Grant, Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve, UConn Alexey von Schlippe Art Gallery, and various UConn departments.
Visitors should park in designated spots when campus is in session to avoid being ticketed. Parking is open and free weekdays after 5PM and on the weekends and holidays. Learn more at the UConn Avery Point Parking page.
Some stretches of the Path are not accessible so please check the map before embarking on the Path.
