If your new year resolutions include trying something new, being more intentional when it comes to eating, drinking and supporting local businesses, or taking visitors out for a great socially-distanced time, make plans to spend a day exploring the Fitzhugh trail.

But have no fear! We’ve rounded up a list of new and happening spots not to be missed-that is, until more come around.
