MAP: Best Sledding Spots Around Monroe

MONROE, CT — With a new layer of fresh powder, many of Southwest Connecticut's youngest residents will dust off their tubes, saucers and tobogans for the first sledding of the year this week. Many will return to the same hills that they have for years, but some will seek out new terrain.

That's where we come in.

We asked readers around the area where the best sledding spots in their hometowns were. Many are located in public parks and on public school grounds, while others may be found in places you'd least expect.

We're still looking for submissions for our map. If you have a great sled spot that wasn't included in our list, fill out the form below and let us know.
