Sprague's Town Trails Sprague I'm a bit vague on Sprague. It doesn't help that nowhere in Sprague do they refer to their town as Sprague. It's Baltic, Hanover, or Versailles. Which in Sprague is pronounced "ver-sales." Which has bothered me since I learned of it decades ago. This picture is what Sprague … [Read more...]

Sharon Land Trust Intro
Sharon Land Trust Trails Sharon There is much natural beauty in Sharon. You can assume that simply because the Appalachian Trail runs through it for a few miles, sure, but you should also be aware of this very active land trust (as well as others that have trailed land in town). It seems that everybody here in … [Read more...]
Clinton Land Conservation Trust Intro
Clinton Land Conservation Trust Trails Clinton The longest walk most people take in Clinton is probably from one end of the outlet stores to the other. Not us though... the CTMQ-types who'd rather walk in the woods. I am pleased to see that Clinton has some woods in which to walk. So walk the Clinton woods we … [Read more...]
Monroe’s Town Trails
Monroe's Town Trails Monroe is named for the 5th president of the United States, one President James Monroe. He had literally nothing to do with Connecticut during his life and career as best I can tell. And I found this to be a rather ironic fact: During his presidential election, Monroe received 183 of the 217 … [Read more...]
Madison’s Town Trails
Madison's Town Trails If you told 100 people to tell you what they'd do if told to spend a day in Madison, I figure the breakdown would be as follows: 80 to Hammonasset Beach, 15 to wine and dine in fancy restaurants, 3 to explore "downtown", 1 to go to the history museums and one to go hiking. And that's a … [Read more...]
Durham’s Town Trails
Durham's Town Trails It is my strong contention that the only thing people think about when they think about Durham is the Durham Fair. And that's fair. I suppose. But there are some decent properties for hiking around the rural town, and while I have no idea how nice the "town owned" tracts are as I write … [Read more...]
Huckleberry Hill
Huck, Huck, Huck Huckleberry Hill Trails, Avon December 2018 My seven-year-old son was looking at one of my maps and had some questions. The map in question was my map of Connecticut towns and at the time, 11 were colored in green. It was also time to color in a 12th. That town was Burlington and the reason for … [Read more...]
Middlefield’s Town Trails
Middlefield’s Town Trails Middlefield, which isn’t in the middle of the state nor covered by fields, is a nice little town that is sort of hidden amongst some better known cities and towns in its part of the state. And yet, tons of people go to Middlefield whether they know it or not. Lyman Orchards is sort of a … [Read more...]
Plymouth’s Town Trail Intro
Plymouth’s Town Trail Plymouth Plymouth is one of those towns that most people refer to as another name. In this case, it’s Terryville. I’ve known a bunch of people who’ve claimed they were from Terryville. I’ve never known anyone who says they’re from Plymouth. It’s a weird Connecticut thing I’m finally getting … [Read more...]
Plymouth Land Trust Intro
Plymouth Land Trust Trails Plymouth I don’t have any rational reason as to why, but as I write this before I’ve stepped foot on any Plymouth Land Trust trail, I’m pulling for them. I want their two little trails to be excellent. Perhaps because when I sought to pull this page together, part of me was like, … [Read more...]
