Guilford’s Town Trails

Guilford’s Town Trails

Guilford's Town Trails Guilford isn't a large town, but it does have a lot of trailed properties. It's another one of our towns where it seems like the town owned land bleeds into state owned land which surrounds land trust land. This used to bother me from a list-making perspective, but now I've come to really … [Read more...]

Haddam’s Town Trails

Haddam’s Town Trails

Haddam's Town Trails I won't lie to you and say that I am currently familiar with every nook and cranny of Haddam, the only town in Connecticut with residences on both sides of the Connecticut River. Sure, I'd hiked the Mattabessett Trail through town and some trails in the Cockaponset State Forest before putting … [Read more...]

Newtown’s Town Trails

Newtown’s Town Trails

Newtown's Town Trails There are a lot of trails to hike in Newtown. That's it. That's all I really need to say here. We all know what Newtown is associated with and of course that's impossible to divorce from what the town is today. But there's something renewing about getting out into the woods and walking … [Read more...]

Groton’s Town Trails

Groton’s Town Trails

Groton's Town Trails I'm sure you can find this lament elsewhere on CTMQ, but I'm saying it again: Connecticut's town structure is annoying enough, but our fake towns are even more annoying. Mystic is probably the worst example. Granted, this only matters to me and my "need" for accuracy in listing things within the … [Read more...]

Goshen’s Town Trails

Goshen’s Town Trails

Goshen's Town Trails Putting together Goshen's pages for CTMQ has been enlightening. I learned (via Wikipedia, for what that's worth) that Ivan Llendl lived here in a $25 million mansion. And one of my son's favorite authors (in elementary school), Mary Pope Osbourne lives/lived here. And Madeline L'Engle! In … [Read more...]

Hilltop Farm Nature Trail

Hilltop Farm Nature Trail

Topping off Suffield Hilltop Farm Nature Trail, Suffield August 2020 It is perhaps premature to be writing this page now in 2020. But you know what? The glacial pace of everything at Suffield's Hilltop Barn tells me that I might as well now, because no one can be sure if and when things will be clearer. … [Read more...]

Chester’s Town Trails

Chester’s Town Trails

Chester's Town Trails You don't go to Chester to go hiking. You go to Chester to eat, drink, shop, and be fancy. Maybe you go across the river on the ferry. But you do not go to Chester to go hiking. Actually, perhaps you do... the Cockaponset State Forest is there and the trails there are excellent. But … [Read more...]

Hebron’s Town Trails

Hebron’s Town Trails

Hebron's Town Trails Hebron is graced with parts of two state forests (Meshomasic and Salmon River) as well as the popular Gay City State Park. The Air Line State Park Trail also courses through town. When I start these town trail introductory pages that no one reads like that, it usually means I'm about to excuse … [Read more...]

Norwich’s Town Trails

Norwich’s Town Trails

Norwich's Town Trails Ah, Norwich. A town that used to be crisscrossed by all sorts of Mohegan trails back in the day. Since then, though, Norwich came and went as a key white people manufacturing hub and all those trails are long gone. Today, the city has one park with woodland(ish) trails. But fear not! … [Read more...]

Freja Park

Freja Park

Tol'ja Freja Park, Bolton September 2020 Freja Park is a really neat place to visit these days. Sure, it can be a jumping off point for any number of hikes or bike rides along a couple different bike paths. You can even take "secret" trails to some really cool spots that many are unfamiliar with as you head north … [Read more...]
