Salem’s Town Trails The coolest “outdoorsy” thing in Salem is Minnie Island State Park. It’s the size of a large backyard and is shared evenly with Montville. Oh, and it really is an island in a lake. There’s nothing on it but trees. And it really is a state park. It rules. In other words, the town of Salem … [Read more...]

Great River Park
Great River? Or the Greatest River? Great River Park (Riverfront Recapture), East Hartford May 2019 I never planned to walk this walk. Well, I mean I didn’t plan to walk the entirety of Great River Park the day that I did. But I’m glad I did. While Great River Park stands on its own as a fairly worthwhile … [Read more...]
Kent’s Town Trails
Kent’s Town Trails This page is totally unfair to the lovely town of Kent. Kent has some of the best hiking in the entire state. A bunch of state parks, the Appalachian Trail, and a slew of land trusts. Just a crazy amount of outdoor adventure awaits in the New York border town.

Watrous Park
Wat? Watrous. Watrous Park, Cromwell May 2019 Judging by the Google hits for this place, it’s a hot spot for stay-at-home moms and their children. For whatever reason, mommy blogs all went to Watrous in 2016. I guess they had a mommy blogger meet-up or something. There this one, and this one, and don’t forget … [Read more...]
Marlborough’s Town Trails
Marlborough’s Town Trails Marlborough Hiking is crazy. The town is mostly a forest and yet there isn't really much of a formal trail network. I did find this from 2014 which is promising, but as of 2020, not much has been cleared/created. Perhaps I'll return to this in 2025 or so. Someone remind me. Blish … [Read more...]

East Haven’s Town Trails
East Haven’s Town Trails The ‘Staven. A town that gets dumped on quite a bit; squished between Connecticut’s greatest city and cultural hub (New Haven) and the more attractive Branford. Famous for nothing other than its 9-term mayor, Joseph Maturo. A guy who is infamous for appointing a racist police chief and then … [Read more...]
West Haven’s Town Trails
West Haven’s Town Trails The town of West Haven doesn't really oversee any real trails, but since they do have the longest stretch of public beach in the state, and there is a sort of walkway covering the length of most of it, and since there are some cool aspects to the shoreline there... here we are. … [Read more...]
Easton’s Town Trails
Easton’s Town Trails What up, Easton? Can you hear me? Probably not, since the town seems to be infamous for poor cell service. What's weird about that is that despite the fact you can't find Easton on a map, it's bordered by the well-known and heavily populated Fairfield, Trumbull, and is mere feet from touching … [Read more...]
