Readers' Choice: Rye Patch's Best Place to Walk and Hike

Spring is upon us and now is the time to get outdoors and enjoy the local trails and parks. Which one is your favorite?

This Tuesday is the last day of what has turned out to be an exceptionally mild winter. But the official start of Spring is a great excuse to really get back outdoors. 

Rye Patch readers have a number of great places to walk or hike right in our own backyard. Of course, there's the beach with its beautiful view of the Long Island Sound and plenty of joggers just hit the streets and enjoy their neighborhood. But some of the best places to enjoy an outdoor sojourn are the area's parks.

So here's a list of some great spots to catch a glimpse of Spring flora and fauna while getting a great workout to boot. If you have another favorite route, add it in our comment section.
