Branford's Town & Land Trust Trails Oh man. There are only a few towns that leave me no choice but to combine different entities' trailed properties into one list. As you've guessed by now, Branford is one. And while this gives my list-OCD fits, this is a very good thing. Very good in that it's nice to see … [Read more...]

Salisbury Association Land Trust
Salisbury Association Land Trust Salisbury I'll admit it. I've created over 100 of these land trust trails pages and this one has me slightly defeated. Perhaps I'm a bit fatigued... nah. It's just that some of these entities don't have the resources to create useful websites. So I have to go on a time-consuming … [Read more...]
Tanager Hill
Blazes Appropriately Scarlet Simsbury Land Trust's Tanager Hill Property, Simsbury April 2020 Imagine Connecticut without the Metacomet Ridge that rises right up like a reptilian spine through the middle of the state.

BLT: Edith Toomey Clark Property
EDITH! Edith Toomey Clark Property, Bolton April 2020 I would confidently state that very few people hike this property without hiking the Rose Trail at the historic Bolton Heritage Farm. There is another way to access the trails here, but that would mean walking along the Hop River State Park Trail, which, now … [Read more...]

The Goodspeed, Gillette Castle, Devil's Hopyard, the swing bridge... but trails? Yes, and lots of them. Below are … [Read more...]
Owen-Mortimer Trail
You'll Owen Me For This One Simsbury Land Trust's Owen-Mortimer Trail, Simsbury April 2020 This little blue-blazed trail could/should... will be important someday. More on that in a minute. I parked in a little pull-out on East Weatogue Street even though there's a true hiker's lot just south of there. Let … [Read more...]
Stonington Land Trust Intro
Stonington Land Trust Stonington Let's face it, people don't often go to Stonington for the sole purpose of hiking. As arguably Connecticut's hottest town for tourists, most visitors would rather fight the throngs for downtown parking and walk around its immaculate sidewalks near the shoreline. And that's … [Read more...]

Stamford Land Conservation Trust Intro
Stamford Land Conservation Trust Stamford Do you ever think about these land trusts in lower Fairfield County and how extraordinary they are? Land in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, etc. is very, very expensive land. Probably some of the most expensive non-big city land in the country I'd guess. And yet … [Read more...]
