May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Bethlehem's Town Trails O' Little Town of Bethlehem... with o'little number of trailed properties to hike.

Groton Open Space Association Trails

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Groton Open Space Association Trails Groton & Ledyard GOSA seems to operate in that netherworld between land trusts and town trails. There are many of these organizations in the state and they can get confusing. I can't pretend that I have it all figured out, but I try. All I really care about is that they maintain … [Read more...]

North Haven’s Town Trails

May 2, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

North Haven's Town Trails Which Haven is the most forgotten Haven? Obviously not New Haven. When it comes to the three directional Havens, I'm going to suggest that North Haven is the least known. I don't really know why I suggest that other than the fact that East and West simply have more... stuff. And … [Read more...]
