Manchester Land Conservation Trust Intro

November 24, 2016 by Steve Leave a Comment

Manchester Land Conservation Trust
Manchester, East Hartford, Bolton, Vernon, Andover, & Glastonbury

Shout out to the MLCT! These guys really made me work to find which of their many properties are trailed. I won’t dwell on it too much, because they may update the way they present their trails online someday and then I’ll have no complaints.

Buckland Pond

Adding to my difficulties is that not all of the trailed property is in Manchester, as there are a few forays into Glastonbury, Vernon, and Bolton. I’ve done far too much research into which of the MCLT properties are “hikeable” and my list below is the result. The best part? Some of the trails are 200 yards long. I love it.

The Preserves and Hikes:

Bolton
Risley Pond & Box Mountain

East Hartford
MJ Williams Park

Manchester
Alba Pavan Nature Preserve
Barlow Park
Buckland Pond
Bush Hill Farm
Cheney Rail Trail
Fairway Park
Barnwood Trail at Griswold Park on Hills Street
Lombardo Farm (Potential future trail)
Marsh Pond
Purdy Nature Trail
Salters Pond
Spring St.- Hayden L. Griswold

Vernon
Pleasant/Stickney Hill
Risley Pond & Box Mountain
