CTMQ’s Guide to Plainfield

Everything Plainfield I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Plainfield’s Town Trails Intro

Plainfield’s Town Trails You have no business being here. But here you are. On a dead-end page with nothing of any interest on it. For Plainfield has no town trails as best as I can tell.

Devil’s Dens: Plainfield & Sterling

Plainfield: Note: This page appears over on my Satan in Connecticut! section, so it takes on a different flavor.

Make That "QuineBOG" Trail Griswold, Plainfield & Voluntown 8.1 miles December 14, 2008 2019 Update: These eastern Connecticut trails are a mess.

Trout Fishing in America Plainfield Google Maps location February 2008 with March 2013 Update! Our visits to the Burlington State Fish Hatchery Right off the bat, no, I have not read Trout Fishing in America (nor do I plan to) and I'm not a fan of the wacky folk artists of the same silly name.
