East Lyme Land Trust There is a lot packed in to little East Lyme. And I'm not just talking about ticks either. I'm talking about trails. Lots of trails. And lots of entities that maintain those trails. The East Lyme Land Trust is but one. I kind of like the excitement of hiking trails on property owned by … [Read more...]

East Lyme’s Town Trails
East Lyme's Town Trails I was a bit surprised when I began compiling all the trails and hikeable properties in East Lyme. Little East Lyme... a state park, a state forest, four land trusts have holdings in town, plus there's the Richard H. Goodwin Trail to boot. Little East Lyme. Heck, the Yale place listed … [Read more...]
Farmington River Park
Roots Rock Farmington River Park, Bloomfield & Windsor May 2020 I've written several times about the pockets of Bloomfield over on the western edge along the Metacomet Ridge. And for good reason! Several cool trails course up and down the hill over there. But there are other "hidden" spots in Bloomfield - … [Read more...]
Willington’s Town Trails
Willington's Town Trails The Nipmuck Trail nips Willington's southeast corner and Joshua's Trust has a parcel with a trail in town. Only 6,000 people live here and aside from a section of I-84, it's a very quiet, forested town. So of course there are endless opportunities for woodland hiking. Right? Oddly, … [Read more...]
GNH: Long Wharf Nature Preserve

Milford’s Town Trails
Milford's Town Trails Shout out to Milford. The Milf. The town has produced a "Favorite Walks in Milford" that is incredibly thorough and comprehensive. There is much, much more listed than what I have below. Mostly because they include several loops exclusively on roads and sidewalks, but also because they have a … [Read more...]

Brookfield’s Town Trails
Brookfield's Town Trails Ah, Brookfield. Fairfield County's finest town. Checks notes What? It's not the ultimate Gold Coast hedgefund enclave? It's a rather sleepy little town squished between Lake Candlewood and the Housatonic River? With a bunch of trailed properties, several of which criss-cross farmed hay … [Read more...]
M.K. Wilcox Park
No Dumping M.K. Wilcox Park, Bloomfield June 2020 I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of people hike through MK Wilcox Park in Bloomfield every year and don't even know it. There they are, hiking north through Penwood State Park, taking in the panoramic views west and checking off abandoned chimneys along the … [Read more...]
