All Things Auer Farm Bloomfield Auer Farm is referred to as "Auerfarm" just as often as "Auer Farm". I don't know which is more correct, so you'll see it both ways on the various pages I've written about various aspects of the park and farm. And oh, there are several pages - enough to warrant this page. If … [Read more...]

Auer Farm Trails
An Auer of Chaos Auer Farm, Bloomfield December 2020 All Things Auer Farm, which is also called Auerfarm. This page is a bit silly. Not that Auer Farm is silly - it's not. The page is silly because I have too many separate pages on Auer Farm. And now two separate pages on the trails at the property. (The … [Read more...]
NCLT: Hannan-Eberstadt Field
Hannan-Eberstadt Field New Canaan Land Trust, New Canaan November 2020 This is not a property to properly hike in an real sense. It's a relatively small field in the middle of New Canaan, just a stone's throw from the country club. And if this were a land trust holding in almost any other Connnecticut town, I'd … [Read more...]
Two Sisters Tract
Don't Get it Twister, Sisters Two Sisters Tract, Chaplin March 2021 This is a Joshua's Trust property.

Valley Brook Church Trails
Lift Me Up (To The Top of The Hill) Valley Brook Church Trails, Granby December 2020 As I begin to write about the trails at this large church in North Granby, I'm suddenly wondering how many mapped and blazed public trails exist at churches around Connecticut. Probably not too many, but I don't really have any … [Read more...]
Christensen Pond
Horsing Around Christensen Pond, Granby November 2020 Look, if I made the effort to "hike" here, the least you could do is spend the next 90 seconds of your life reading about it. No? You don't? Of course you don't. Why would you? You could at least look at this pretty picture though. See? It looks like a … [Read more...]
Case Mountain Trails (South)
Head Case Case Mountain Trails (South) Manchester & Glastonbury November 2020 I have split the Case Mountain Trail network into northern and southern sections. If you're not familiar with the large tract of woods at the corners of Manchester, Glastonbury, and Hebron, let me be the first to tell you that it … [Read more...]
RWA: Genesee Trails
I Gen eh See How It Is Genesee Trails, Guilford & Madison January 2021 All Regional Water Authority (RWA) properties require a purchased permit to access. Hot on the heels of my very first RWA hike down the coast at Maltby Lakes, I was all jazzed up for a dawn hike here, at the Genesee Property. I'd learned … [Read more...]
Rose Trail at the historic Bolton Heritage Farm
A Rose is a Heritage is a Rose Rose Trail at the historic Bolton Heritage Farm April 2020 After hiking this property and only then learning of its recent troubled past, I must say that I'm shocked. One would think that the handsome old farm with sweeping views across the historic fields and hills where … [Read more...]
Roaring Brook Falls Park
Roaring? I'd be Lion. Roaring Brook Falls Park, Cheshire July 2014 This is a weird one. Roaring Brook Falls is most often cited as Connecticut's "largest waterfall" in the sense that it contains the largest single drop of any falls in the state. Somewhere around 80-feet of drop. Awesome. That mention almost … [Read more...]
