Wood Memorial Gingerbread House Festival

November 1, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Oh Snap! Wood Memorial Library Gingerbread House Festival, South Windsor November 28, 2014 I have no idea how many gingerbread house festivals there are in Connecticut, let alone New England, but I'm still confident that this one is one of the largest around.

Landings in Cromwell Cromwell Landing Park & Riverport Park at Frisbee Landing October 2017 Annnnnnd away we go! Cromwell! I'm all in!

Nooks Hill Road & South Street

October 28, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Just Because Nooks Hill Road & South Street “Tunnels”, Cromwell October & December 2017 These aren't a tunnels. They're not even all that interesting. But here we are... driving around Cromwell. First, I was heading towards the mighty Connecticut River on Nooks Hill Road. I’m writing this epic page simply … [Read more...]

Frank Niederwerfer Wildlife Sanctuary

October 24, 2017 by Steve 1 Comment

You Nied This Place in Your Life South Windsor: Frank Niederwerfer Wildlife Sanctuary ~2 miles, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list.

Nature Center Trails

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Nature Center Trails Let’s see how fast I can write this... in an effort to maintain the largest and most comprehensive list of all trailed properties in Connecticut, certain categories simply don’t fit.

Derby’s Town Trails

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Derby’s Town Trails Little Derby with one woodland trail. There is a very nice state park in Derby... and where there was once the "Derby River Trail" that was absorbed by the Naugatuck River Greenway, there is now just one trail around a reservoir in the tiny town.

Cromwell’s Town Trails

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Cromwell’s Town Trails To be fair to fair Cromwell, Cromwell is a river town. And a golfing town. It's not so much a hiking town. (Although there is a very nice state park with some decent trails... along the river. Because it's a river town.) So the town owned parks and woods are not extensive. But they … [Read more...]

HAS: Lewis Farm

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Suffield HAS It! Lewis Farm, Suffield October 2017 Once in a while, I'll realize that certain things I've done for CTMQ are things that not many others have done. Though I'm sure many people have walked all three of the Hartford Audubon properties. So I'm not really sure why I'm writing this introduction … [Read more...]

Lawrence, Welp South Windsor: Lawrence Road Park ~0.5 miles, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list.
