Peak East Granby East Granby Farms Trail, East Granby April 2019 Yo, so glad you’re here. You’ve found your way to my favorite trail in East Granby not named Metacomet. I can hear the Cowles Park fanboys crying and I don’t care. Cowles is cool, and especially friendly to mountain bikers, but the official loop … [Read more...]

Four TRLC East Granby Trails to Skip
If You Can't Trust a Land Trust... Four (Former) East Granby Land Trust Hikes April 2019 The East Granby Land Trust became part of the Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy in 2023. One assumes these trailed properties will remain the same: Donald and Barbara Algren Preserve Fieldstone Griffin Marsh (formerly … [Read more...]
Windsor Locks’ Town Trails
Windsor Locks' Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think Windsor Locks had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day some lovely CTMQ reader commented, "Hey, Steve, you missed one! There is indeed a town-owned trail in Windsor … [Read more...]
East Hartford’s Town Trails
East Hartford's Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think East Hartford had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day I was driving down Long Hill Road and saw a big sign for "East Hartford Nature Park Trails!" I turned down … [Read more...]
Kimball Trail & Batz Property
Batz&*^% Crazy! Kimball Trail & Batz Property, Ellington April 2019 Please don't be alarmed. Yes, I'm combining two trails, miles apart from each other, onto one page. I don't even know why I'm doing this, as it's not often that I do. Both properties are owned by the town of Ellington, both (more or less) have one … [Read more...]

Much of it is Northern Connecticut Land Trust info and maps, but that's still a good thing. The difficulty comes when trying to parse which properties are Somers', which are the NCLT's, and … [Read more...]
Franklin Swamp WMA
Frankly Not Worth It Franklin Swamp WMA, Franklin May 2019 When I put together my CTMQ Town Guides for each of our 169 towns, I do my best to capture everything germane to what it is I do. When it comes to hiking, I tend to be way too thorough. There's a sort of hierarchy to these things, and state-owned wildlife … [Read more...]
Giddings Park
Positively Giddi Giddings Park, Franklin May 2019 You've likely never heard of Franklin's Giddings Park, and you'll likely never go there, so I'll start off with my friend Matt Woodward's description of it over on his excellent Explore Connecticut site: Giddings Park is everything you would want a town park to … [Read more...]
Montville’s Town Trails
Montville's Town Trails For a town named "Mountain City," you'd think there would be some pretty great hiking and climbing. Unfortunately, I can't say that's the case here. Montville has a rich Native American past, but for some reason has a french town name. Montville has no mountains and is not a city by … [Read more...]
