Go Climb a Tree Tree House Farm Trails, Woodstock November 2024 No one is coming here to hike. Heck, no one is coming here to drink or purchase and then accidentally hiking. And that's fine, because the "hiking" here isn't so much hiking but just strolling down farm roads through the plantings at the Woodstock … [Read more...]

Nipmuck Woods
Nipping up to Stafford to Tuck in the Woods Northern Connecticut Land Trust's Nipmuck Woods, Stafford November 2024 Here's a good example of the challenge of what I do with CTMQ. Although, in fairness, I do this to myself. I "completed" Stafford in 2017. It felt good. Granted, Stafford isn't exactly a bustling … [Read more...]
Dividend Pond
A Trail Divided Dividend Pond Trails, Rocky Hill December 2023 The official name of this place is Dividend Pond State Archaeological Preserve. There's a pretty nice waterfall, several decent trails, and a mildly fascinating geologic wonder. Man, Rocky Hill with its geologic wonders... here, Dinosaur State Park, … [Read more...]
New Hartford Land Trust Trails
New Hartford Land Trust Trails When I started this website in 2006, it was just about museums. A couple years later, I added CFPA trails. And several years later I decided to tackle land trust (and other) trails. From 2006 until 2022 or so, there were no New Hartford Land Trust trails. Which is crazy, since New … [Read more...]
Border Woods
Bordering on Madness New Roxbury Land Trust's Border Woods, Woodstock November 2024 None of the New Roxbury Land Trust properties are officially trailed.

Bob White Farm (Private)
Bob and Weave, Bob and Weave Northern Connecticut Land Trust's Bob White Farm, Stafford November 2024 I don't think you're supposed to hike here. It's tough, man.

Rocky Hill Refuge
Eesh Wyndham Land Trust's, Rocky Hill Refuge, Woodstock November 2024 I went to the Rocky Hill Refuge on Rocky Hill Road in Rocky Hi - err, in Woodstock. (Coincidentally, I had just "completed" Rocky Hill a week or so prior.) You do not need to ever go to the Rocky Hill Refuge on Rocky Hill Road in Woodstock, … [Read more...]
Camps Sequassen & Workcoeman
"A Scout is Honest..." Camps Sequassen & Workcoeman, New Hartford & Barkhamsted October 2024 These are connected private scout camps that are not open to the public. I suppose anyone can hike the many miles of trails at these camps. And I suppose they are very nice hikes. The maps are nice and show a lookout … [Read more...]
Quarry Park
Well, There Was a Rocky Hill Quarry Park, Rocky Hill September 2024 One of the best things about hiking every trail in Connecticut (or so I pretend) is doing zero research on a place before hiking it... and learning it's a hundred times cooler than you'd imagined it would be. Welcome to Quarry Park in Rocky … [Read more...]
George Dudley Seymour State Park & Higganum Meadows WMA
Happy to See Mour George Dudley Seymour State Park & Higganum Meadows WMA, Haddam October 2024 I don't know why the state decided to split what is one tract of public land along the border of East Hampton and Haddam. To the north (East Hampton), it's Hurd State Park. To the south (Haddam), it's George Dudley … [Read more...]
