New Haven’s Town Trails New Haven has it all. The best university, some of the best museums, some of the best restaurants, and some of the best cultural events in the state. As if that weren’t enough, New Haven is home to some great parkland as well. When it comes to my absurd goal of “completing” every one … [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...]
Weston’s Town Trails
Weston’s Town Trails Weston is a weird town. I have this hypothetical competition in my head regarding which Connecticut town is the strangest. Of course, there’s no set criteria to determine “weird,” so I can’t definitively say that one town is weirder than the rest. But Weston is certainly in the … [Read more...]
Manship Park & Kinne Preserve
Canterbury Trails Robert Manship Park & Kinne Preserve Canterbury, June 2019 I had to find trails to hike in Canterbury. I just had to. Why? So that I could write the title "Canterbury Trails". I would have cleared, blazed, and walked my own darn trail if I had to. Which was almost the case, but … [Read more...]
Columbia’s Town Trails
Columbia’s Town Trails Like many of my fellow Nutmeggers, whenever I say “Columbia” I add a bit of South American flair. Perhaps a roll of the tongue on the ‘l’. Never mind that Columbia, Connecticut is spelled differently than the country, and never mind that its small population is 99% white. … [Read more...]
Spicebush Swamp
Spicey! Spicebush Swamp, West Hartford When I originally explored this little park with Damian in 2016 or so, I had this to say: ... This little piece of land is really sort of lame. There is a nice little pond there which is open for fishing only to kids under 16 which is a nice concept. But the trails behind … [Read more...]
East Granby Farms’ Brian Spears Trail
Peak East Granby East Granby Farms Trail, East Granby April 2019 Yo, so glad you’re here. You’ve found your way to my favorite trail in East Granby not named Metacomet. I can hear the Cowles Park fanboys crying and I don’t care. Cowles is cool, and especially friendly to mountain bikers, but the official loop … [Read more...]
Windsor Locks’ Town Trails
Windsor Locks' Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think Windsor Locks had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day some lovely CTMQ reader commented, "Hey, Steve, you missed one! There is indeed a town-owned trail in Windsor … [Read more...]
