A Bang-Bang Hike Pistol Creek Berlin & Middletown Way back in the day, I worked for Aetna in Middletown. Very near there, on the border with Berlin, up sprang the Pistol Creek golf course in 2001. I'm not a golfer, nor will I ever be, but I do recall people being fairly impressed with the course. It looked nice … [Read more...]

Water Works Brook
Cue the Waterworks Water Works Brook, Windsor Locks April 2022 I'm going to provide all of you - yes, you people that feel the urge to go for a walk at Water Works Brook - a huge service. When you go to look up where this place is, every map and resource will point you to the wrong place. Different wrong places … [Read more...]
Hamilton Park
Hub of Waterbury Hamilton Park, Waterbury There is a lot of history at Hamilton Park in Waterbury. History I'm not going to get too deep into at all. It's just an old town park. It doesn't really rise to the level necessary to get the full CTMQ treatment. And you won't believe this, but it also doesn't even … [Read more...]
Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens
Bart Lett's Go! Bartlett Arboretum, Stamford April 2022 One of my good friends grew up in North Stamford and over the many years of writing CTMQ, she has asked once or twice if I'd been to Bartlett Aboretum yet. She hasn't lived in the US for over a decade but this place was very close to her childhood home and I … [Read more...]
Carpenter Property Trail
Carpenter Rants The Carpenter Property Trail, Canton March 2022 Oh Canton, you keep pulling me back. You alluring, alluring town, you. What I mean is... I'm on top of Canton. All over it. She is my muse. I think it's fair to say that on CTMQ, I sort of obsess over certain towns - namely, those that I've … [Read more...]
Mill Brook Trail
Milling About Mill Brook Trail, Newington June 2018 There are a lot of Mill Brooks in Connecticut. I assume there are a lot in surrounding states as well. Since I don't worry about "keywords" or SEO content, I don't care that there are so many Mill Brooks on CTMQ and I don't note which Mill Brook is which in any … [Read more...]
Ten Mile Lowlands
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Ten Mile Lowlands, Cheshire March 2022 So there I was, driving down Dundee Road on my way to meet a friend. A friend I used to live with in his current house in Cheshire way back in 2000. I had just spent about 18 months in the metaphorical wilderness, including a period of homelessness. I … [Read more...]
River Park
Bonfire of the Inanities River Park, Avon February 2022 A funny thing happens when you're the guy who claims to hike all the hikes there is to hike in all the towns in all of Connecticut. People tell you that you have not hiked all the hikes there are to hike in all the towns. Like this: Across the river from … [Read more...]
Sage Park
Not the Wisest Place to Hike Sage Park, Berlin January 2022 The town of Berlin has plenty of great places to hike. From Ragged Mountain to Hatchery Brook and all the Metacomet Miles in between. Berlin also has a few not so great places to hike. Sage Park is one of those places, but since someone (and I may know … [Read more...]
Great Pond Preserve
Just Great Great Pond Preserve, Glastonbury December 2015 Great Pond indeed. You know what's great? Doing a meticulous scroll through old pictures on my old computer before backing them up and -- never mind all that. I'm sitting here in 2022 and just came across this set of pictures from a hike at Great Pond … [Read more...]
