MDC Reservoir 6
The MDC is a Criminal Organization MDC Reservoir 6, Bloomfield, Simsbury, & West Hartford August 2020 I must admit... it's sort of weird writing about a place I've been to a million times. But here I am, nearly 14 years after starting this website and after 20 years of living nearby, doing just that. Yes, I just … [Read more...]
Southington’s Town Trails
Southington's Town Trails If you read Southington's Wiki entry or the town's website, you'll note that the bedroom community is described as being in between two mountain ranges. And while that's technically true, if you were standing in the center of town, you would hardly notice either. But hey, there's a … [Read more...]
Chester Land Trust Trails
Chester Land Trust Oh, Chester. Everyone loves Chester. Not quite Essex, but not Deep River either. Chester is lovely. Randomly, my father grew up in Chester, Pennsylvania which is just south of Philadelphia. His family was part of the white flight in the 1950's and while Pennsylvania's Chester is now home to an MLS … [Read more...]
Southington Land Conservation Trust
Southington Land Conservation Trust Queen Street. I-84. I-84. Queen Street. I know some Southington residents who are pretty darn happy with their town, and probably don't want outsiders like me urging people to check out the town beyond the major thoroughfares. Well, tough.

East Lyme Land Trust

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
Gather 'Round Kids Gather New Haven's Long Wharf Nature Preserve June 2019 For those of you that read all my hiking pages, I'm about to sound like a broken record: I love urban trails. Yes, of course, there really no better way to spend a crisp autumn day in Connecticut than traipsing up and down mountains in … [Read more...]
