RWA: Lake Hammonasset

April 27, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Mad Killing It, Yo Lake Hammonasset, Madison & Killingworth January 2021 All Regional Water Authority (RWA) properties require a purchased permit to access. As with many of these Regional Water Authority properties, there's a white-blazed forest road that circumnavigates a reservoir. Which is perhaps the most … [Read more...]

Ninevah Falls

April 21, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Biblical! Ninevah Falls, Killingworth & Madison January 2021 I just learned that Ninevah was the largest city in the world at one time. From about 660-612 BC. I remember it from my childhood Bible studies, but for those of you without that impossibly fun background, Ninevah was located where modern day Mosul in … [Read more...]

Cockaponset State Forest Intro

Cockaponset State Forest Haddam, Chester, Deep River, Killingworth, Durham, Guilford, Madison, Clinton, Westbrook, Middletown & Middlefield I listed all the towns above not because there are worth CTMQ things do within the Cockaponset in each, but just to make the point that this is a disjointed and sprawling … [Read more...]

364. Chatfield Hollow Nature Center

May 9, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

An Open Window Into Local Wildlife Killingworth (Google Maps location) July 22, 2017 I have a weird feeling about Killingworth. And it’s not just because it’s named Killingworth.

CTMQ’s Guide to Killingworth

May 8, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

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

Killingworth’s Town Trails

May 8, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Killingworth’s Town Trails What’s a killing worth? A lot to a bounty hunter assassin I suppose. But here in Connecticut, a Killingworth is a town not quite on the coast, not quite on the river, not quite in the hills. But it does have a lot of woods and that means it has trails. The Killingworth Land … [Read more...]

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Intro

May 7, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Killingworth is known to me as “the town I cut through to get to Madison.” Of course, Connecticut is often derided as the state one must cut through to get to New York or Boston. And that annoys me, so apologies to the fine folks of Killingworth. On those cut-throughs, I … [Read more...]

TSTL’17.11: Chatfield Hollow State Park

August 31, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Sky's the Limit 2017 Hiking Challenge #11 Chatfield Hollow State Park, Killingworth July 22, 2017 This Challenge point represented an all-new state park for me! That’s right, even though Chatfield Hollow contains a little nature center museum, “caves,” a covered bridge, a swimming pond, and a CFPA trail … [Read more...]
