Town Owned Trails

Watrous Park

July 29, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

July 28, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

Plainfield’s Town Trails Intro

July 23, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Plainfield’s Town Trails You have no business being here. But here you are. On a dead-end page with nothing of any interest on it. For Plainfield has no town trails as best as I can tell. Now, please don't get confused. There are several trails in Plainfield - trails worth hiking even. But I list them … [Read more...]

New Haven’s Town Trails

July 22, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

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

July 17, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

July 14, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

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

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

June 30, 2019 by Steve 2 Comments

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

June 19, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]
