Town Owned Trails

Wapping Park

October 11, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Have To Do It... A Wapping Good Time! South Windsor: Wapping Park ~1.5 miles, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list. I had this idea to just bundle them all together when I write them up because really, I think we can agree that South Windsor's town trails aren't exactly … [Read more...]

The Putnam River & Mill Heritage Trails

October 4, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Putnamming One Foot in Front of the Other The Putnam River Mill Heritage & River Trails August 13, 2017 No, I didn’t walk the full length of either of these trails. Not that they aren’t cool and interesting. They just aren’t the types of trails I seek to fully complete. But since Putnam is devoid of any … [Read more...]

Major Michael Donnelly Land Preserve

September 20, 2017 by Steve 1 Comment

Respect South Windsor: Major Michael Donnelly Land Preserve ~1 mile, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list. I had this idea to just bundle them all together when I write them up because really, I think we can agree that South Windsor's town trails aren't exactly clickbait … [Read more...]

Danbury’s Town Trails

September 15, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Danbury’s Town Trails Danbury is one of Connecticut’s few true cities. We have a bunch of towns that are officially cities, but when listing city cities, my list is pretty short. Danbury makes the cut. So it’s cool that there are a bunch of trails in Danbury; owned and maintained, ostensibly, by the city. … [Read more...]

RCC: Sarah Bishop

September 13, 2017 by Steve 2 Comments

A Hermitess Bishop? Ridgefield Conservation Commission (RCC): Sarah Bishop ~.75 Miles, June 2017 This was my second Ridgefield Conservation Commission hike and if all their little properties are as well cleared and blazed as this one, I'm going to be happy ripping through their extensive list of … [Read more...]

SCC: Woodlawn Trail

August 11, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

The World is Upside-Down Stafford Conservation Commission (SCC): Woodlawn ~2 Miles, July 2017 I lamented the lack of proper scaling on the three Stafford Conservation Commission trail maps back when Damian and I explored the Diamond Ledges over in West Stafford. I don’t wish to belabor the point, but for a … [Read more...]

SCC: West Stafford Conservation Area

July 25, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Kid Rocks Stafford Conservation Commission (SCC): West Stafford Conservation Area ~1.2 Miles, March & July 2017 With approximately 50 billion Connecticut hikes to walk and write about, it’s not often I revisit trails. So now you must be thinking the West Stafford Conservation Area trails must be stupendous. … [Read more...]

Stafford’s Town Trails

July 25, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Stafford and Its Conservation Commission’s Trails I must say that I’m surprised there aren’t more trails in Stafford. There is a ton of land up there, but a lot of it is farmland. And, I suppose, private. Sure, the Shenipsit wends through town and there’s the state forest and Bald Hill trails... but beyond … [Read more...]

Hockanum River Trail 18&19: Dart Hill SE & SW

July 25, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Dartin' Around Vernon Hockanum River Trails (VGV): Dart Hill SE & SW, Vernon ~2 miles total, February/May 2017 If you are reading these Hockanum River Trails south to north, you have already read the Pleasantview Marsh page. If you haven’t, it’s a fun one and you should. Better yet, start at the beginning with … [Read more...]

Vernon Center Middle School Trail

July 20, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Redundant Redundancy Vernon Center Middle School Trail, Vernon May 2017 This seems like a rather odd place for me to finish up everything there is to do in Vernon (as far as this site is concerned), but... it was here, high atop the hill behind Vernon Center Middle School where the boys and I gazed across a rural … [Read more...]
