Eversource Land Trust
Eversource Land Trust Brooklyn, East Granby, Enfield, Granby, Middletown, New Fairfield, Waterford, Windsor Locks, Surprising, isn’t it? We don’t really think of a giant utility as something that would create and manage a land trust. But here we are. And I’m here because of King’s Island; an oblong piece of … [Read more...]
Vernon’s Town Trails
Vernon's Town Trails Although spliced by I-84, Vernon has a decent number of trails. Many are within earshot of the highway, but that shouldn't stop you. Of course, the CFPA's Shenipsit Trail traverses the town as well. And by town I mean Vernon, not Rockville. Rockville is great and all, but it's merely a part of … [Read more...]
Case Falls
We're on the Case Case Falls, Manchester November 2016 Falls Fact: 25-feet high dammed cascade I took Calvin out for an hour or so of “waterfall hunting.” I think we can all agree that sounds a lot cooler than, “let’s get in the car and go drive to some waterfalls in Manchester.” We didn’t have too much … [Read more...]

Enfield’s Town Trails
Enfield's Town Trail There are towns with no town trails - meaning trails on town-owned property - so no one can make fun of Enfield for only having one trail at the time of this writing. What people can make fun of is the fact that Enfield's lone town trail has a seedy history. One which I sort of … [Read more...]
Manchester’s Town Trails Intro
Manchester's Town Trails Man. You people have no idea. For whatever reason, compiling Manchester's trails has been a very, very difficult task.
