HCLT: Timberwood Trail

May 7, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

15 Timberwood (Timberwood Trail) Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 The entrance into this neighborhood looks like the road into a park. Wooded and with solid low fencing, I wasn’t sure where the .19 acre Hamden Land Conservation Trust property was, exactly. Here’s where it is: At the end of the … [Read more...]

HLCT: 85 West Shepard Avenue

May 7, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

85 West Shepard Avenue Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 Haha! Tricked you again! This land is inaccessible too, but I did take a picture of the lovely house that stands sentry to the land. Land which, I'm sure, is beautiful and will be accessible someday in the future. “This land is held in … [Read more...]

HLCT: Johnson’s Pond

May 7, 2013 by Steve 2 Comments

Johnson’s Pond Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 This property’s access point is along a residential road where I was impressed by the upkeep of the lawns. It is in the shadow of the Wilbur Cross, but is also right next to this nice little bit of Hamden Land Conservation Trust property which accesses … [Read more...]

HLCT: 6 Elmwood Place

May 6, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

6 Elmwood Place Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 6, 2013 Haha, you clicked here. There’s nothing to see here. Nothing at all. I have no idea why the Hamden Land Conservation Trust bothers owning this inaccessible postage stamp property, but they do. It’s behind these houses: “Acquired in 2000, this is a … [Read more...]

HLCT: Servoss/Mather Street

May 6, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Servoss/Mather Street (165 Mather Street) Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 If you have read my HCLT Powder Farm page, then you at least know a little bit about the Olin Corporation’s history in this part of the state. (In all honesty, they simply owned Winchester who blew stuff up back during WWII and … [Read more...]

HLCT: Powder Farm

May 6, 2013 by Steve 5 Comments

Powder Farm Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 I haven’t yet decided if I love or loathe the Hamden Land Conservation Trust’s habit of naming their properties by simply stating their addresses. I’m happy to report that the HLCT has changed their entire property nomenclature and they now all have normal … [Read more...]

Hamden Land Conservation Trust Trails Intro

May 6, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Hamden Land Conservation Trust Trails Hamden Way back in the day (2013), this page read differently. There's really no point in alerting you to what's different, but I will say that the Hamden Land Conservation Trust has updated their own website in a way that makes sense to me. So I'm following suit. This … [Read more...]

Onion Mountain Park

April 23, 2013 by Steve 4 Comments

Nothing to Cry About Onion Mountain Park trails, Simsbury April 21, 2013 In 2022, the Canton Land Conservation Trust linked this park to Roaring Brook Nature Center via the Onion Mountain Trail. I am falling in love with West Simsbury and North Canton. They have a "wildness" to them that is especially cool in … [Read more...]

Tunxis Mainline Trail: Section 4

April 17, 2013 by Steve 5 Comments

Section 4: Hike Sundown New Hartford & Barkhamsted, 7.6 miles, with my dad April 2013 Over three and a half years. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve stepped foot on the 79 miles of Tunxis Trail. Three years and eight months. As pathetic as that is, it also highlights how great the CFPA Blue Trails challenge … [Read more...]

Pachaug: Pharisee Rock Trail

December 12, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Oh Those Pharisees Pharisee Rock Trail, Sterling December 14, 2012 For starters, I don't really care about who the Pharisees were. If you do, rock on. I do care about the Pharisee Rock Trail though - the short one mile in, one mile out trail on the Pachaug Trail in the Ekonk section of Sterling. I realize … [Read more...]
