East Hartford’s Town Trails

June 5, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

East Hartford's Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think East Hartford had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day I was driving down Long Hill Road and saw a big sign for "East Hartford Nature Park Trails!" I turned down … [Read more...]

Kimball Trail & Batz Property

June 3, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Batz&*^% Crazy! Kimball Trail & Batz Property, Ellington April 2019 Please don't be alarmed. Yes, I'm combining two trails, miles apart from each other, onto one page. I don't even know why I'm doing this, as it's not often that I do. Both properties are owned by the town of Ellington, both (more or less) have one … [Read more...]

Somers’ Town Trails

June 2, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Somers' Town Trails Shout out to the Somers town government for putting a good amount of hiking info on their town's website. Much of it is Northern Connecticut Land Trust info and maps, but that's still a good thing. The difficulty comes when trying to parse which properties are Somers', which are the NCLT's, and … [Read more...]

Positively Giddi Giddings Park, Franklin May 2019 You've likely never heard of Franklin's Giddings Park, and you'll likely never go there, so I'll start off with my friend Matt Woodward's description of it over on his excellent Explore Connecticut site: Giddings Park is everything you would want a town park to … [Read more...]

Montville’s Town Trails

May 25, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Montville's Town Trails For a town named "Mountain City," you'd think there would be some pretty great hiking and climbing. Unfortunately, I can't say that's the case here. Montville has a rich Native American past, but for some reason has a french town name. Montville has no mountains and is not a city by … [Read more...]

If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below. There are properties to hike in the town, just not town-owned ones. I suppose you could walk around … [Read more...]

For years this page existed with no trails listed, but I've since become aware of a couple little farm trails to explore. There may be more, I don't know. Then again, Bethlehem is pretty small and the … [Read more...]

Ledyard’s Town Trails

May 12, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Ledyard's Town Trails Ledyard. For centuries, just another forgotten rural town in eastern Connecticut. Ledyard, home of the Mashuntucket Pequot tribe. Transformed forever in the mid-80's when the Foxwoods bingo hall opened. Followed by the Foxwoods slots casino. Followed by the what was, in the early 2000's, the … [Read more...]
