Westport's Town Trails The Gold Coast. Paul Newman's hometown. Money. Lots and lots of money. And trails? Sure, why not. The Aspetuck Land Trust maintains the bulk of trails in town, but there are a couple other properties worth exploring as well. Sure, one is at the private Earthplace museum and the other … [Read more...]

Windham’s Town Trails
Windham's Town Trails If you've found yourself on this page and are wondering, "I wonder if this website has a page for all 169 towns' trails," I'm pleased to tell you that yes... yes it does. This is an amazing website. More amazing is that each towns' listing is probably very accurate. However, every now and then … [Read more...]
MDC Reservoir 6
The MDC is a Criminal Organization MDC Reservoir 6, Bloomfield, Simsbury, & West Hartford August 2020 I must admit... it's sort of weird writing about a place I've been to a million times. But here I am, nearly 14 years after starting this website and after 20 years of living nearby, doing just that. Yes, I just … [Read more...]
Southington’s Town Trails
Southington's Town Trails If you read Southington's Wiki entry or the town's website, you'll note that the bedroom community is described as being in between two mountain ranges. And while that's technically true, if you were standing in the center of town, you would hardly notice either. But hey, there's a … [Read more...]
East Lyme’s Town Trails
East Lyme's Town Trails I was a bit surprised when I began compiling all the trails and hikeable properties in East Lyme.

Willington’s Town Trails
Willington's Town Trails The Nipmuck Trail nips Willington's southeast corner and Joshua's Trust has a parcel with a trail in town. Only 6,000 people live here and aside from a section of I-84, it's a very quiet, forested town. So of course there are endless opportunities for woodland hiking. Right? Oddly, … [Read more...]
Milford’s Town Trails

There is much, much more listed than what I have below. Mostly because they include several loops exclusively on roads and sidewalks, but also because they have a … [Read more...]
Brookfield’s Town Trails
Brookfield's Town Trails Ah, Brookfield. Fairfield County's finest town. Checks notes What? It's not the ultimate Gold Coast hedgefund enclave? It's a rather sleepy little town squished between Lake Candlewood and the Housatonic River? With a bunch of trailed properties, several of which criss-cross farmed hay … [Read more...]
M.K. Wilcox Park
No Dumping M.K. Wilcox Park, Bloomfield June 2020 I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of people hike through MK Wilcox Park in Bloomfield every year and don't even know it. There they are, hiking north through Penwood State Park, taking in the panoramic views west and checking off abandoned chimneys along the … [Read more...]
