Wadsworth Falls State Park Middlefield & Middletown You know what annoys me about Wadsworth Falls? That Middletown takes all the credit for the park. Sure, the main entrance is there, and the swimming pond, but both waterfalls and the bulk of the trail network are in Middlefield. And you can park legally to enter … [Read more...]

North Branford Land Conservation Trust
North Branford Land Conservation Trust Trails I feel kind of bad for North Branford. The local water concern owns a third of the land in town and only has trails on a very small parcel of that land. That doesn't leave much for a local land trust, but their website does state in 2020 that they do plan on adding … [Read more...]
North Branford’s Town Trails
North Branford's Town Trails North Branford is a weird town. I don't mean that the people there are weird. They may be, I don't know. But the town itself... Back in the day Lake Gaillard was created to provide water to the area and as a result, The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority owns about a … [Read more...]
Pootatuck State Forest Intro
Pootatuck State Forest New Fairfield Pootatuck might be the most fun name to say of any of Connecticut's state forests or parks. Pootatuck. Pooty-pooty Pootatuck. Of course Pootatuck comes from a Native American tribe that used to live in the area before they were mostly wiped out and then absorbed by other … [Read more...]
New Fairfield’s Town Trails
New Fairfield's Town Trails New Fairfield is not very much like Fairfield at all. While both are in Fairfield County, Fairfield is a town with a commercial area and a couple universities and an identity. New Fairfield is a farming community that always votes Republican and doesn't have all that much going on - which … [Read more...]
Guilford’s Town Trails
Guilford's Town Trails Guilford isn't a large town, but it does have a lot of trailed properties. It's another one of our towns where it seems like the town owned land bleeds into state owned land which surrounds land trust land. This used to bother me from a list-making perspective, but now I've come to really … [Read more...]
Guilford Land Conservation Trust
Guilford Land Conservation Trust Trails You know you have some good stuff as a land trust when the CFPA includes one of your properties in their Blue Trails Challenge list. Such is the case with the GLCT's Westwoods property. While that is certainly the land trusts - and arguably Guilford's - crown jewel, there's a … [Read more...]
Millers Pond State Park Intro
Millers Pond State Park Durham & Haddam Millers Pond is a nice little state park that surrounds a natural spring-fed pond. There are lots of trails that extend beyond the park itself into the surrounding Cockaponset State Forest. The Mattabesett Trail courses through it. Millers Pond is unique in that its … [Read more...]
Haddam Land Trust
Haddam Land Trust Trails Bam! Go Forth! To Bamforth! And all the other Haddam Land Trust trailed properties! Man, there's a lot to hike in Haddam. Several state parks, a large state forest, Mattabassett goodness... on and on. And I promise that I won't overlook what the HLT does here either. And they're … [Read more...]
Haddam’s Town Trails
Haddam's Town Trails I won't lie to you and say that I am currently familiar with every nook and cranny of Haddam, the only town in Connecticut with residences on both sides of the Connecticut River. Sure, I'd hiked the Mattabessett Trail through town and some trails in the Cockaponset State Forest before putting … [Read more...]
