169 Towns, 10,069 Trails (est.) Town Managed/Owned Trails This section has always been sort of hard to define, but now that I've focused more on what's out there in the woods, I've come to love it. Almost every trail you'll navigate to through this page is on land owned by the town it is in. That's the idea … [Read more...]
Spring Park
Boing-Boing! Spring Park, Windsor Locks September 2022 There I was, smugly proud of myself for "completing" the town of Windsor Locks. All museums and places of interest and trails done and written up. After telling the world, I was almost immediately reminded why I try to always put "completed" in quotation … [Read more...]
Ethel Walker Woods and Town Forest
We Can All Be Ethel Walkers Ethel Walker Woods and Town Forest, Simsbury September 2022 This is a weird one for me. I took the boys here several years ago and only have vague recollections of what happened. We didn't get too far, but I don't know if that was because of Damian, Calvin, me, or a combination thereof. … [Read more...]
Great Falls
Sometimes Great Great Falls, Canaan/Salisbury February 2017 At some point someone dubbed Great Falls - also known as Canaan Falls - "The Niagara Falls of New England." In 2015 or so, the go-to New England waterfall resource first said, "If you are unable to make it to Niagara Falls in New York this summer, this … [Read more...]
Pistol Creek
A Bang-Bang Hike Pistol Creek Berlin & Middletown Way back in the day, I worked for Aetna in Middletown. Very near there, on the border with Berlin, up sprang the Pistol Creek golf course in 2001. I'm not a golfer, nor will I ever be, but I do recall people being fairly impressed with the course. It looked nice … [Read more...]
Water Works Brook
Cue the Waterworks Water Works Brook, Windsor Locks April 2022 I'm going to provide all of you - yes, you people that feel the urge to go for a walk at Water Works Brook - a huge service. When you go to look up where this place is, every map and resource will point you to the wrong place. Different wrong places … [Read more...]
Hamilton Park
Hub of Waterbury Hamilton Park, Waterbury There is a lot of history at Hamilton Park in Waterbury. History I'm not going to get too deep into at all. It's just an old town park. It doesn't really rise to the level necessary to get the full CTMQ treatment. And you won't believe this, but it also doesn't even … [Read more...]
Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens
Bart Lett's Go! Bartlett Arboretum, Stamford April 2022 One of my good friends grew up in North Stamford and over the many years of writing CTMQ, she has asked once or twice if I'd been to Bartlett Aboretum yet. She hasn't lived in the US for over a decade but this place was very close to her childhood home and I … [Read more...]
Carpenter Property Trail
Carpenter Rants The Carpenter Property Trail, Canton March 2022 Oh Canton, you keep pulling me back. You alluring, alluring town, you. What I mean is... I'm on top of Canton. All over it. She is my muse. I think it's fair to say that on CTMQ, I sort of obsess over certain towns - namely, those that I've … [Read more...]
Mill Brook Trail
Milling About Mill Brook Trail, Newington June 2018 There are a lot of Mill Brooks in Connecticut. I assume there are a lot in surrounding states as well. Since I don't worry about "keywords" or SEO content, I don't care that there are so many Mill Brooks on CTMQ and I don't note which Mill Brook is which in any … [Read more...]
