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.

Gay City State Park Intro

Gay City State Park Hebron, Glastonbury, Bolton Gay City is one of those state parks that is an almost equal mix of history, hiking, and... I guess swimming. Gay City was first settled in 1796 by a religious sect led by Elijah Andrus and later by Rev. Henry P. Sumner. The Gays soon comprised the majority of the 25 … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Hebron

Everything Hebron 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” Hebron CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]

Hebron’s Town Trails

Hebron's Town Trails Hebron is graced with parts of two state forests (Meshomasic and Salmon River) as well as the popular Gay City State Park. The Air Line State Park Trail also courses through town. When I start these town trail introductory pages that no one reads like that, it usually means I'm about to excuse … [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.

Eagle Rock

Fly Eagle Fly! Route 66 Hebron Equally handsome from either direction, Eagle Rock stands sentry in Hebron, Just north of the Marlborough line. Probably the proudest of Connecticut's roadside painted rocks, and one of the few fully endorsed by the town in which it resides. Which is Hebron. Not Marlborough. By mere … [Read more...]

Gay City State Park

“We Built This Gay City… We Built This Gay City on Rocks and Roll(ing Hills)!” Bolton, Glastonbury & Hebron, about 11 miles total June 17 and 24, 2009 It is always challenging for me to logically and concisely present these "trail networks" for easy consumption.

Shenipsit Regional Trails Intro

Shenipsit Regional Trail Network Bolton, Glastonbury, Hebron, Manchester, Vernon Like the Tunxis Trail, the Shenipsit has a whole host of trails leading to, leading from, or nearby that are included as sort of part of the main trail.
