Sessions Woods Observation Tower Sessions Woods WMA, Burlington ~30' high Back when I started the list of towers and observation decks around Connecticut, a commenter noted that I was missing the Sessions Woods fire tower. I remember my initial thought was that the commenter was nuts. For I had, I … [Read more...]
Knox Family Farm Preserve
Knox on Wood Knox Family Farm Preserve, Stonington February 2014 This is an Avalonia Land Conservancy property. I used this hike as sort of a test. Could I drive to the furthest (by time) spot in Connecticut (more or less) alone with my two boys, hike a long (for them) hike, go to lunch, go to Beer'd Brewing … [Read more...]
Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls
Falls so Cool They be Ice Sessions Woods Falls, Burlington February 2014 The Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook notes that these falls are “south of Burlington," which would mean Bristol. They are not in Bristol, I promise. Anyway, these falls are as far away from the Sessions Woods visitor's center as … [Read more...]
Avalonia Land Conservancy Trails
Avalonia Land Conservancy Bozrah, Colchester, Griswold, Groton, Ledyard, Montville, North Stonington, Norwich, Preston, Salem, Stonington Okay, who took geology in college? You did? Awesome. I did too and while it was just one sort of side class for me I really enjoyed it. And no, “Rocks for Jocks” doesn’t … [Read more...]
Westledge Trail Falls
Falls Along Westledge Trail Unnamed/Northgate Falls, Simsbury October 2008 These falls are included in the new (2013) Connecticut Waterfalls guidebook, so I’m adding this page several years after visiting. And since I’m lazy, I’m not going to go find the CD that contains the original pictures to give you the … [Read more...]
Burlington Land Trust Trails
Burlington Land Trust Burlington I'm revisiting this page in late 2026, many years after hiking all the trails that the Burlington Land Trust had to offer over decade ago. I spend a lot of time "revisiting" pages and editing and updating. An active organization is always changing things, and such is the case with … [Read more...]
Burlington’s Town Trails
Burlington's Town Trails I love Burlington hiking. There is a lot of it. Much of it great. But for years, it all seemed to be CFPA or Nature Conservancy or state land trails. And then... voila! The town purchased a beautiful property and the local land trust helped clear some trails and now we have some content to … [Read more...]
Wintergreen Falls
It's Winter, but not Green Wintergreen Falls, New Haven January 17, 2014 Another day out in Connecticut's most interesting city with the boys... which included the two trails at West Rock Nature Center. Note: This is a wholly different place than West Rock Ridge State Park. The State Park has had its own … [Read more...]
West Rock Nature Center Trails
"C'mon D!" West Rock Nature Center, New Haven January 18, 2014 If you're poked around this site a bit more than the average visitor, you may know that I am drawn to quirky and odd things that seem incongruous to me. I've written here and there about the various oddities in and around West Rock Park. Things … [Read more...]
Fisher Farm Open Space
Give a Man a Fisher... Fisher Farm Open Space, Avon & Farmington July 2010 & November 2025 This trail has matured and grown since my 2010 visit. It's great now. My 2010 advice: Don’t bother. Unless you are 100% immune to poison ivy and get your jollies hiking through pancake-flat meadows and woods, there’s … [Read more...]
