Warren’s Town Trails Intro
Warren's Town Trails Like you, I know nothing about Warren. This is how Warren likes it. I have been able to discern that there is this place called Warren's Woods that is owned by the town. There is a pond there with a pavilion and some picnic tables and stuff. Are there trails there? One trail? I have no … [Read more...]
Warren Land Trust Intro
Warren Land Trust Warren Warren is easily one of the least developed towns in all of Connecticut. You don't know anyone from Warren.

Westbrook’s Town Trails
Westbrook's Town Trails Westbrook is not Westport. Westbrook is not Westport. Now say it out loud. I don't know if anyone besides me needs this reminder, but I mix the two towns up all the time.

FLT: Hetzel Refuge
Hike the Hetzel Pretzel Flanders Land Trust: Hetzel Refuge ~1.5 Mile, May 2019 The trail system at the Hetzel Refuge isn’t remotely pretzel-shaped, but I’m sticking with my title. I did, in fact, hike a couple loops that – oh never mind. No use in trying to invent some sort of Hetzel Pretzel logic here. The … [Read more...]
Deep River Land Trust Trails Intro

No, not for the fact that "Deep River Land Trust" probably sounds funny to people who don't immediately know that Deep River is a Connecticut town with earthen land... shout out to them for have a website, with a modicum of … [Read more...]
Deep River’s Town Trails
Deep River’s Town Trails Deep River is not a large town, and being down near the mouth of the Connecticut River makes it also a fairly flat town. What deep woods that exist there are part of the Cockaponset State Forest. This is my way of saying that there isn’t too much in the way of town land with trails. That’s … [Read more...]
