Veteran’s Memorial Park
Brrrthany Veteran's Memorial Park, Bethany January 2026 Sometimes hiking in snow can be done in a light jacket or even a t-shirt. And sometimes you'd be lucky to hit 10 degrees... not to mention the brisk wind out of the northwest. This was one of those cold days. But I was in Bethany and I had about 90 … [Read more...]
Wolcott Park & Children’s Forest
Waste Not, Wolcott Wolcott Park & Children's Forest, West Hartford October 2026 For some reason, if you Google this place right now in October 2026, it says that it is "permanently closed." I have no idea why it says that. I have read that the trails here became quite overgrown at some point several years ago, but … [Read more...]
Independent Day School Trails
Fearless Hiking Independent Day School Trails, Middlefield December 2025 Note: Don't walk trails at schools while school is in session.

Crystal Ridge Trails
Crystal Cleared Crystal Ridge Trails, Ellington September 2026 Ellington went on a little trail-clearing bender recently and created several new trails. And that's great!

As you'll see, I'm quite glad I did. … [Read more...]
Highland Trail
Not Far Afield Highland Trail, Ellington August 2026 I love how, in this day and age, new trails are being cleared, blazed, mapped, and hiked. Sure, rehiking some of Connecticut's best trails is always an option, but it's also nice to have somewhere new to explore when you have time to kill in Ellington. … [Read more...]
Peckham Park
Hunting and Pecking for a Trail Peckham Park, Middlefield January 2026 This page exists to simply tell you that this page shouldn't exist. When I compile lists, I rely on other sources. When it comes to trailed town properties, that source is often the town. And many towns either ignore their trailed … [Read more...]
Derby and Shelton Canals
Locked In Derby and Shelton Canals, Derby & Shelton January 2026 One of my son's soccer coaches used to yell "Lock it in boys, lock it in!" all the time and now I find myself using that phrase in non-athletic endeavors. Anyway, when I got down to the canals and lock in Derby and Shelton, I was "locked in" on one … [Read more...]
Coe Hill Open Space
Cuckoo for Coe Hill Coe Hill Open Space, Middlefield January 2026 This is one of those "Really, dude? You really needed to find this place, walk it, photograph it, and write about it?" places. To which I answer, "Yes? Yes, yes, yes, and yes." So imagine my surprise upon settling in to quickly write … [Read more...]
