I Can Bearly Stand It Bear Hill Wildlife Management Area, Bozrah September 2018 This page will be (rightfully) lost to history, but for the sake of it... I "completed" Bozrah at Bear Hill WMA. Yes, my favorite town to pick on, Bozrah. The town I've come to love over the last twelve years of writing CTMQ. Good ol' … [Read more...]

Belden Forest
Run/Forest/Run Belden Forest, Simsbury May 2015 The Belden Forest tract on its own really isn't all that interesting. That's not to say it's not nice; for it is. Simsbury, which has tons a cool hiking areas, doesn't do much to promote them. (This is why, I suppose, the Simsbury Land Trust has picked up the … [Read more...]
Sweetheart Mountain
Sweeeeeeeeeeet! Canton Land Conservation Trust (Canton & Burlington) July 28, 2018 It appears the CLCT has cleared the trails I couldn't hike properly. Which is nice. Son has another Bouncy birthday somewhere in Canton, check. Dad can't wait to, um, foster his son's independence, check. Canton has an unhiked … [Read more...]
Morris’s Town Trails
Morris’s Town Trails You know what's funny? That the White Memorial Conservation Center and its vast network of trails is always associated with Litchfield when in fact, half of the place is in Morris. The area is hugely popular with hikers, kayakers, naturalists, etc... yet I've never heard anyone say, "let's go … [Read more...]
Franklin’s Town Trails
Franklin’s Town Trails You may rightly ask why I do introductory pages for towns that have one or two trails. (To clarify, Franklin has more than these trails, but the others are on land owned by non-Franklin entities.) I do it because: a) I started doing it years ago and can't stop now, b) Towns like … [Read more...]

But hey, they have done a bang up job of snapping up adjoining land parcels in Franklin and Sprague alone the Shetucket River and for that, they've made the hallowed pages of … [Read more...]
Shelton’s Town Trails Intro
Shelton’s Town Trails I've written introductions for many land trusts and town trail compendiums for this site. They don't really serve as anything other than tables of contents, and the stuff I write on these pages is rarely read by anyone. But Shelton's Conservation Commission strikes me as different for a … [Read more...]
Shelton Land Conservation Trust Intro
Shelton Land Conservation Trust Shelton I realize that counties in Connecticut don't really mean anything, but I must admit my slight surprise in learning Shelton was in Fairfield County. I don't know what I was slightly surprised. But I was. Also, I've come to learn that most of the trailed properties in … [Read more...]
Metacomet Trail: Section 13
Section 13: "Hike Like a Monkey!" Hatchett Hill Rd to Route 20, 2.3 miles September 1, 2018 Has it really been almost a year since our last Metacomet section hike? Yes. But I don't care. This day may have been the first opportunity to hike with Hoang in that intervening 11 months! And I'm glad we took … [Read more...]
Litchfield Land Trust
Litchfield Land Trust When most people think of Litchfield, they think of the downtown area. All the bustling restaurants and cool little curio shops, bounded by the historic green and the perfect white churches. And when most people think of “the Litchfield hills,” they think of the Berkshires to the northwest … [Read more...]
