Hm. Angelo Joseph Sferrazza Memorial Park November 2016 When an unassuming man decides to hike every trail in Enfield, he simply drives to the few trailheads in town and goes about his little communes with nature. He may take his son with him. No big deal. There are no mountains in Enfield. There are no long … [Read more...]

Vernon’s Town Trails
Vernon's Town Trails Although spliced by I-84, Vernon has a decent number of trails. Many are within earshot of the highway, but that shouldn't stop you. Of course, the CFPA's Shenipsit Trail traverses the town as well. And by town I mean Vernon, not Rockville. Rockville is great and all, but it's merely a part of … [Read more...]
Enfield’s Town Trails
Enfield's Town Trail There are towns with no town trails - meaning trails on town-owned property - so no one can make fun of Enfield for only having one trail at the time of this writing. What people can make fun of is the fact that Enfield's lone town trail has a seedy history. One which I sort of … [Read more...]
Manchester’s Town Trails Intro
Manchester's Town Trails Man. You people have no idea. For whatever reason, compiling Manchester's trails has been a very, very difficult task. Although the town itself has a pretty great set of pages dedicated to its trails. It was the two land trusts in town and some other confusion that was driving me … [Read more...]
Darling Wildlife Sanctuary
My Little Darlings Darling Wildlife Sanctuary November 2016 I learned of this little sanctuary via the Simsbury Land Trust 2016 Walk Book. But it’s not a Simsbury Land Trust property. To the best of my knowledge, it is a town of Simsbury property. So that’s how I’m treating it. Also, the sign says … [Read more...]
Simsbury’s Town Trails
Simsbury's Town Trails Simsbury taught me some lessons. The very first CTMQ page, ever, was about the Pinchot Sycamore in Simsbury. The very first non-CFPA trail on the CTMQ was in Simsbury. The town showed me that I needed to expand my horizons beyond the original confines of this site. And that's when, way … [Read more...]
Fisher Meadows
Dead Fisher Fisher Meadows, Avon May 8 & 21, 2016 I have no idea why we started hiking the trails of Avon in early 2016, but we did. I used the hikes as sort of a filler on those weekends when we didn’t have time to do a “real” hike or to go on another adventure. "We only have a couple hours? Fine, lets go over … [Read more...]
Found Land
Found Land, Avon May 29, 2016 I must admit, "Found Land" is one of my favorite place-names in Connecticut. My hope is that Avon or Canton finds a new plot of unclaimed forest and they can call it "New Found Land." I didn't have much hope for Found Land, but I figured it would provide a decent chunk of time … [Read more...]
Alsop Meadows
The Mysterious Lacrosse Fields of Avon Alsop Meadows, Avon May 2016 It was a murky, gray, drizzly day here in north central Connecticut. My sons were being lazy bums. I didn’t want to be a lazy bum all day, so after arguing with my 5-year-old about going on a short walk, I went alone. Kid didn’t know what … [Read more...]
Ravine Park
Into the Abyss Ravine Park, Middletown February 20, 2016 Because I'm somthing of a public servant, I sometimes feel the need to start off a few hike reports with "Don't hike this hike." As I explore these tiny little trails around our state, I'm finding a few of these types of hikes here and there. I'm not … [Read more...]
