Watertown’s Town Trails

Watertown’s Town Trails

Watertown's Town Trails Watertown doesn't have that many water features. Sure, it's bounded on the east by the Naugatuck River but... it's not really a town feature. It used to be part of Waterbury back in the day, but then split off and became its own thing in 1780. Waterbury isn't too watery either now that I … [Read more...]

Canton’s Town Trails

Canton's Town Trails If you, like me, have always said to yourself, "boy, wouldn't it be interesting if Canton, Connecticut was named after Canton, China" but then dismissed that as a ridiculous idea, you'll be as surprised as I was at the Wikipedia page about Canton saying that this is indeed true. And the … [Read more...]

Rye Street Park

Hiker in the Rye Rye Street Park, South Windsor October 2020 The trail network at Rye Street Park is ridiculous. They are not real trails planned by a serious trail planner. They are absurd double-backing crackhead trails. In fact, they are so dopey that when I first walked some of one a couple years ago … [Read more...]

Fairfield’s Town Trails

Fairfield's Town Trails There's no Fairfield Inn in Fairfield. There is an Inn at Fairfield Beach which is not a Fairfield Inn. While I'm in Fairfield, I like to say that I'm "Fairfield'n." And when I'm Fairfield'n, there's a decent chance I'll be walking the trails in one of the several town properties that have … [Read more...]

Johnnycake Mountain

Takes the Cake Johnnycake Mountain, Burlington September 2020 Come on. Seriously. Just stop with the autumn hating. "All I see is death and decay!" Stop it. Look at these pictures... and it was just at the beginning fringe of autumn! (And yes, I'm talking to my summer-loving wife.) I love the fall. I've … [Read more...]

Colchester’s Town Trails

Colchester's Town Trails I have this ridiculous scenario in my mind as to how some of you found yourselves on this page. Perhaps over the next 20 years, one of you will have previously skimmed the page on the Colchester Land Trust and you are now confused to see the one "Colchester Town Hike" below... since you just … [Read more...]

Meriden’s Town Trails

Meriden's Town Trails Meriden is the Silver City because there were a lot of silver manufacturers there back in the day. The silver legacy can be found all around town. But it wasn't just silver that put Meriden on the map; it was all sorts of manufacturing and metalworking. Like, Bradley & Hubbard … [Read more...]

Griswold’s Town Trails

Griswold’s Town Trails

Griswold's Town Trails When I think about Griswold I think about the Griswold's. As in the Griswold family of the Vacation movies fame. Which is ironic since Griswold isn't exactly on most vacationers' itinerary. While a few CFPA trails dip their toes into the rural town, the town itself doesn't have much to … [Read more...]

Canaan’s Town Trails

Canaan’s Town Trails

Canaan's Town Trails Canaan is home to the fifth highest peak in Connecticut. The Appalachian Trail crosses its border. The Housatonic State Forest covers much of it and the CFPA has two trails within the town. Mountains, forests... and a distint lack of town-owned trailed parcels. What gives? I have no … [Read more...]

Norwalk’s Town Trails

Norwalk's Town Trails The most hiking anyone does in Norwalk is hoofing it around the SoNo district - either during the day with kids going to the attractions or at night with your crew bar hopping. But CTMQ has been there done that on both accounts; now it's time to hike some trails! In Norwalk! Yes, … [Read more...]
