Still There, Still Hikeable, Still Brook Still Brook Open Space, Simsbury November 2024 I've lived in West Hartford since 2001 and in that time, I've seen my town sell every available acre to developers. At the same time, I've seen nearby Simsbury spend town money on protecting open space and woodlands from … [Read more...]

Mount Tom State Park
Mount Tom State Park Litchfield, Morris, & Washington I was about to say that my favorite fact about this place is that I find it very weird that Litchfield claims the park - and the state DEEP says it's in Litchfield - when, in fact, only like 10% of it is in the town. The bulk of it is in Washington, including … [Read more...]
Tree House Farm Trails
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 Wyndham Land Trust's Border Woods, Woodstock November 2024 In 2025, the New Roxbury Land Trust became part of Wyndham Land Trust. I will keep the page as originally written, however. This property is not officially trailed. The last time I experienced a New Roxbury Land Trust property, I … [Read more...]
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. It's tough being a Connecticut completist and seeing a trailed and mapped property almost surrounded by trailed and mapped properties - and … [Read more...]
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...]
