Woods in Woods Holcomb Farm (West), Granby April 2018 It's always fun when three generations of Woods can get out into the woods together. (My last name is Wood.) Such was the case in early April 2018 when my parents were visiting for Calvin's 7th birthday. I'm sure Granddad wanted nothing more than to hike a few … [Read more...]

Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Intro
Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Good old Old Saybrook. Not exactly the first town one thinks of when thinking of going for a hike in Connecticut. My guess is that they think about the little borough of Fenwick and all the massive and beautiful “summer cottages” of 19th century magnates... and Katherine Hepburn. But … [Read more...]
Eastford’s Town Trails
Eastford’s Town Trails Eastford is remote and rural and barely populated. A huge percentage of the town’s square mileage is taken up by the Natchaug State Forest. (Through which courses the CFPA’s Natchaug Trail). Another chunk of forest is owned by Yale - which I've included here... just because. This still … [Read more...]
FLT: Cowles/Nancy Conklin Trail
I Keep Hiking for Millions of Reasons Cowles Parcel/Nancy Conklin Nature Trail, Farmington, 1.3 miles June 28, 2018 My employer’s annual work outing occurs in late June at the Farmington Club. It doesn’t really get going until 10 AM, so after dropping off my son, I had some time to kill before sitting around and … [Read more...]
Salmon Brook Park
Nothing Fishy Here Salmon Brook Park, Granby June 2018 When I put my Guide to Granby together, I noted that there were “hiking trails” at the town’s main municipal park. So on a day when I had some extra time after a work outing before picking up my son from school, I sought to check out those trails. The … [Read more...]
North Stonington’s Town Trails Intro
North Stonington’s Town Trail NoSto. Finally. Finally a town nickname that makes sense. NoSto. I live in WeHa, and I hate that moniker. But I like NoSto. If only because “North Stonington” is the longest Connecticut town name and it gets annoying to type. As for trails in town, you’ve got some state … [Read more...]
Harwinton Recreation Trails/DEEP Western HQ
Going DEEP CT DEEP Western Headquarters/Harwinton Conservation Trails May 6, 2018 I’m going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I’m going to sort of serialize the write-ups. If for some reason you want to start at the beginning, go here, … [Read more...]
Norfolk’s Town Trails Intro
Norfolk’s Town Trails With three state parks, two quasi-private forest tracts (Aton and Great), and an active land trust, that doesn’t leave much land for the town to manage. Even in a town with so much undeveloped land like Norfolk. And frankly, I’m not really all that confident what’s listed below should even … [Read more...]
Ansonia’s Town Trails
Ansonia’s Town Trails Ansonia used to be part of Derby but then someone decided it should separate. As a result, two of the three smallest towns in Connecticut are... Derby (the smallest) and Ansonia (third smallest). Both are cities and both have limited land for hiking. Ansonia does have a few small … [Read more...]
Thompson’s Town Trails
Thompson’s Town Trails Shhhhhhhh... be quiet. We're in Thompson. In the corner up there. The Quiet Corner. And there are things for me to do for this website, but don't tell anyone. I like to be left alone. Shhhh... Thompson has some decent trails, but most are state parks or land trust land or overseen by … [Read more...]
