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.

SLT: 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. No Sleeping Giant, no Castle Craig, no Heublein Tower... no Talcott Mountain and no Penwood State … [Read more...]
Hop River State Park Trail: Section 2
Spurring Adventure Rockville Spur, 3.7 Miles Vernon, June 2020 I first began chronicling these rails-to-trails trails when my son Calvin could join me.

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.

Devil’s Hopyard State Park Intro
Devil's Hopyard State Park East Haddam At the time of this writing, the official state of Connecticut website states: Could the round holes in the falls really be the work of the devil? Or, just nature and water making their mark for future generations? Visit Devil's Hopyard and find your own answer to this … [Read more...]
