Grrr because in reality, Bigelow Hollow State Park is actually pretty small - containing a few loop trails, campsites, and Bigelow Pond.

Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area
Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area Mansfield & Windham You're not going to find too many references to the Mansfield Hollow Wildlife Management Area. But in reality, the WMA has more land acreage than the state park. But it's all one chunk of land and lake, so it's ridiculous for me to even make this … [Read more...]
Welch Parcels
Welp... That's Welch Bethany Land Trust, Bethany January 2021 An important piece of information you should know when setting out to hike little parcels and preserves in The New Haven County Black Hole (Bethany, Prospect, northern Woodbridge, and eastern Beacon Falls) is that there is often nowhere "official" or … [Read more...]
Case Mountain Recreation Area Intro
Case Mountain Recreation Area Manchester & Glastonbury Case Mountain drives me nuts. It's a town park in Manchester but everyone thinks its a state park.

New Roxbury Land Trust
The New Roxbury Land Trust Trails Union & Woodstock I'm confused. First by the "New Roxbury" name of course, since this land trust's holdings are in Union and Woodstock... many miles from western Connecticut's Roxbury. Their website does not offer an explanation for their name, but I really don't care. I care more … [Read more...]
Waterford Land Trust
Waterford Land Trust Trails Waterford If you're actually reading this - and I've a long standing thought that literally no one reads these blurby paragraphs about nothing on these types of pages that I create just to give myself more work - know that this is nearly my very last land trust introduction page that … [Read more...]
