Breakaway Brew Haus (Closed)

October 27, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Breaking Away From All Accepted Norms of the Brewing Industry Breakaway Brew Haus, Bolton Mid-2017 In 2021, BBH announced they are moving to an actual commercial space nearby. But nothing has happened in two years, so I'm calling them closed.) I am writing this in late October 2017. At this moment, there are … [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. I had this idea to just bundle them all together when I write them up because really, I think we can agree that South Windsor's town … [Read more...]

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. Like nature center properties. Some are privately owned, some are town owned, some are Audubon owned, … [Read more...]

Derby’s Town Trails

October 23, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Derby’s Town Trails Little Derby with two little Derby trails. There is a very nice state park in Derby... leaving us with just one little paved riverside trail (which is actually the Derby Greenway) and one little postage stamp park with anything that can be construed as having something resembling trails. … [Read more...]

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 Road Park

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

Windsor Meadows State Park

October 21, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Windsor Meadows State Park Windsor May 19, 2017 I certainly haven't been to every Connecticut state park or state park like entity (of which there are many), but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that a day of combining Windsor Meadows and the Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park a few miles north of this … [Read more...]

Why, I Nevers! South Windsor: Nevers Park ~ 1 mile, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list.
