Aloha! Island Woods, Columbia November 2019 I know what you're thinking right now... you know, the "Steve, really?

Blackledge River Greenway
Unfiltered Marlborough Blackledge River Greenway, Marlborough November 2019 When I searched online for places to hike in Marlborough, I came up fairly empty.

Barkhamsted’s Town Trails
Barkhamsted’s Town Trails Here's the thing about Barkhamsted: It's a wooded and rural town where almost all the land is owned by the state or the MDC.

Portland’s Town Trails Intro
Portland’s Town Trails I don’t know how many Portlands there are in America, but everyone is familiar with the big two in Maine and Oregon; two states known for fantastic hiking and backwoods experiences. Our own little Portland also has a lot of hiking and backwoods to experience. A huge swath of the town is … [Read more...]
New London Town Trails Intro
New London’s Town Trails At a hair over 5.5 square miles, the city of New London is the second smallest of Connecticut’s 169 towns. Everyone goofs on Derby for being the smallest, but New London only has half a square mile on it. It’s kind of like being from Delaware, as I am, and moving to Connecticut only to hear … [Read more...]
