Meshomasic State Forest Intro

Meshomasic State Forest Intro

Meshomasic State Forest Colchester, East Hampton, Portland, Glastonbury, Hebron, & Marlborough I can't promise you that this page will ever be complete. Yes, I like to be thorough and almost always am, but when it comes to the Mesh... it's tough. It's big and it's sprawling, sure, but most importantly it contains … [Read more...]

Salmon River State Forest Intro

Salmon River State Forest Colchester, East Hampton, East Haddam, Hebron, & Marlborough For some crazy reason I decided to start creating these introduction pages for any of our state parks and forests that require more than one page on the site. It makes sense for lots of them, for they may have a CFPA trail along … [Read more...]

Air Line State Park Trail Intro

Air Line... NOT "Airline!" 58.5 Miles, Portland, East Hampton, Colchester, Hebron, Columbia, Lebanon, Windham, Chaplin, Hampton, Pomfret, Putnam, Thompson My title above is for one Mr. Peter Marteka who is enamored with this particular trail to an unhealthy degree.

East Hampton’s Town Trails

East Hampton's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no East Hampton-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below. There are properties to hike in the town, just not town-owned ones. I suppose you could walk around … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to East Hampton

Everything East Hampton I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” East Hampton CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal … [Read more...]

Middlesex Land Trust Trails

Middlesex Land Trust Trails Cromwell, Durham, East Hampton, Middlefield, Middletown, Portland and Haddam Hoo boy. This one’s a doozy. While I completely understand that it is nigh impossible for little land trusts to keep and maintain a nice website that allows the few who care to easily tease out the trailed … [Read more...]

Tartia Falls

"Tartia, Tartia, Tartia!" Tartia Falls, East of Middle Hampton April, 2017 Everyone loves a good roadside waterfall. We don’t really have too many worth your while in Connecticut, but this one bucks the trend. If you reach Tartia Road via Wopowog Road (or travel that route on your way out), don’t be … [Read more...]

Five TSTL Challenge points into this thing, I got to go to one that I have never written about in some way before.

Shenipsit Trail: Section 1

Section 1: What's all this Shenipsit? Gadpouch Road Terminus - Route 2 Crossing, 8.2 Miles May 5, 2009 It was high time I got going on the Shenipsit. While not one of the "big three" CFPA trails (Quinnipiac, Metacomet, Mattabesett), I've always felt it should be included in any discussion on Connecticut's long … [Read more...]

Comstock Covered Bridge

We've Got This Bridge Covered Comstock Bridge, East Hampton/Colchester April 1, 2007 2018: It has been a long, long time since I've revisited this page. Or the bridge. So my pictures are too small. But... you'll survive. Connecticut has three remaining historic covered bridges and I've already been to the two … [Read more...]
