King Property/Middlefield Dog Park Trail
It Doesn't Matta! King Property/Middlefield Dog Park Trail, Middlefield December 2025 This 1.5 mile loop isn't the Mattabassett Trail, although it connects to it.

Coginchaug Greenway Open Space
Middle of a Field Coginchaug Greenway Open Space, Middlefield December 2025 I'm ridiculous. This website is ridiculous. And you know what? You're ridiculous.

Wintergreen Woods
Chew on This Wintergreen Woods, Wethersfield December 2024 This trail is bonkers. Well, that's not true. This trail is decidedly not bonkers.

Simsbury Farms Fitness Trail
I Enjoy Fitness... Simsbury Farms Fitness Trail, Simsbury November 2024 My son used to have a t-shirt that said "I Enjoy Fitness..." then a picture of a taco, then... "Fitness Taco in my Mouth."

Simsbury River Walk
"Peace and Tranquility" Simsbury River Walk, Simsbury November 2024 This website became an adult a few months ago in September 2024. That's right, 18 years of CTMQ. You'd think the impetuousness and stupidity of its middle and high school years would be behind it, but no. Stupid things still happen here. Like, … [Read more...]
