It Doesn't Matta! King Property/Middlefield Dog Park Trail, Middlefield December 2025 This 1.5 mile loop isn't the Mattabassett Trail, although it connects to it. And while its trailhead is on Mattabeseck Road...oh, it doesn't Matta! It's a nice little trail in its own right! And it's hard to come by … [Read more...]

Rankin Preserve
I Am Not Rankin' on This Place! Rankin Preserve, Ashford January 2017 & December 2025 This is a Joshua's Trust property. I first came here in 2017 before the loop trail existed, so I returned in 2025. Back in 2017 I hopped out of my car, snapped a picture of the sign, jogged down the old woods road to its end … [Read more...]
Coginchaug Greenway Open Space
Middle of a Field Coginchaug Greenway Open Space, Middlefield December 2025 I'm ridiculous. This website is ridiculous. And you know what? You're ridiculous. There I was, driving down Strickland Road in Middlefield, after hiking the trails at the Independent Day School - which I probably shouldn't have been, … [Read more...]
Knowlton Hill Preserve
A Ton of Knowltons to Know Knowlton Hill Preserve, Ashford & Mansfield November 2025 This is a Joshua's Trust property.

Rollin' Thru The Dirty Derb Naugatuck River Greenway, Ansonia, Derby, & Shelton December 2024 This section is also known as the Derby Greenway and the Ansonia River Walk.

Brainerd Quarry Preserve
A Flipping Success Brainerd Quarry Preserve, Haddam October 2024 This is a Middlesex Land Trust property. This is the 3,254th page I've published on CTMQ and I believe it's the very first time I've done a specific thing. I've stolen a punny title from someone else. In this case, something called the … [Read more...]
Wintergreen Woods
Chew on This Wintergreen Woods, Wethersfield December 2024 This trail is bonkers. Well, that's not true. This trail is decidedly not bonkers. But what IS bonkers is the fact that you can go, right now, and read a 7,000 word essay on this trail. This 0.7 mile flat loop trail in the middle of suburban … [Read more...]
Frank P. Witek Memorial Park
Building Bridges Frank P. Witek Memorial Park, Derby & Ansonia December 2024 If you landed here from an "Ansonia High School Fields Trails," you're in the right place. It's all the same trail. Pretty much. Like many things in Derby, the trails here cross over into a neighboring town. Derby is tiny. Derby cannot … [Read more...]
Wagner Woods & Hall farm
Nature Show Simsbury Land Trust's Wagner Woods, Simsbury September 2013 & November 2024 The Hall Farm parcel was added to Wagner Woods after I first published this page. I hiked the new parcel 11 years later. Wagner Woods I'll apologize up front. This is one of those pages that I put together for me and my … [Read more...]
Highlawn Forest
Herbert's Way is the Only Way CFPA's Highlawn Forest, Middlefield & Middletown April 2009 & November 2023 No one would complain if I just ignored my "hike" here in 2009 as it was maybe a third of a mile total. Back then, the trails here weren't trails as much as they were demonstrations of how the CFPA trails … [Read more...]
