Mow Howard Tom & Ginnie Howard Educational Preserve, East Granby November 2025 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. I love how active our state's land trusts are. The 2020's have brought many consolidations. When I started this website, let's say there were 110 land trusts. Now let's say there … [Read more...]

Constance Baker Motley Preserve
From Little Rock to Big Rocks Constance Baker Motley Preserve, Chester October 2026 Chester is a lovely riverside town. Most of us are aware of the downtown core of restaurants and art galleries, but outside of that, who really knows Chester? Especially the western half of it on the "other side" of Route 9? The … [Read more...]
Tremko Trail
Celebrating Mid-Autumn in Early Autumn Tremko Trail, Ashford September 2026 Not that anyone would ever question my commitment to this website and to you readers, but if I ever needed to "prove myself," I could point to the little Tremko Trail in Ashford. It's not an exciting trail; there are no views, no … [Read more...]
Veteran’s Memorial Park
Brrrthany Veteran's Memorial Park, Bethany January 2026 Sometimes hiking in snow can be done in a light jacket or even a t-shirt. And sometimes you'd be lucky to hit 10 degrees... not to mention the brisk wind out of the northwest. This was one of those cold days. But I was in Bethany and I had about 90 … [Read more...]
Madeline Regan Preserve
A Proper Madeleines Has Ridges Madeline Regan Preserve, Tolland September 2026 This is a Joshua's Trust property. With luck, your household will have a person who hikes and/or enjoys geology and a person, who might be the same person, who likes baking and/or eating and appreciating baked goods. If that's the … [Read more...]
Wolcott Park & Children’s Forest
Waste Not, Wolcott Wolcott Park & Children's Forest, West Hartford October 2026 For some reason, if you Google this place right now in October 2026, it says that it is "permanently closed." I have no idea why it says that. I have read that the trails here became quite overgrown at some point several years ago, but … [Read more...]
Wadsworth Falls State Park Trails
Wandering Wads of Wonder Wadsworth Falls State Park Trails, Middletown & Middlefield January 2026 The time had finally come for me to properly visit this state park. I'd been poking and prodding at its edges for years; checking out the little covered bridge at the northern entrance, enjoying the Big Wadsworth … [Read more...]
Independent Day School Trails
Fearless Hiking Independent Day School Trails, Middlefield December 2025 Note: Don't walk trails at schools while school is in session. I walked these trails on a Saturday between Christmas and New Year's Day. This trail network was mentioned to me by a Middlefield resident in one of those, "oh yeah, bet you … [Read more...]
Westbrook Land Conservation Trust Trails
Westbrook Land Conservation Trust I'm putting this page together in 2026, 20 years after I started poking around land trusts. They never had any trails, despite all the land they protected - a far more noble mission than creating trails for me. On a whim I decided to look closer at the WLCT and found that they... … [Read more...]
Little Wadsworth Falls
A Little Dicey When Icy Little Wadsworth Falls, Middlefield January 2026 Seeing these falls requires a little hike of a half mile or more, depending on your route choice. You have several options, but if there's snow or ice, or if it has just rained appreciably, or if you are not confident in your balance, or if … [Read more...]
