Windham's Town Trails If you've found yourself on this page and are wondering, "I wonder if this website has a page for all 169 towns' trails," I'm pleased to tell you that yes... yes it does. This is an amazing website. More amazing is that each towns' listing is probably very accurate. However, every now and then … [Read more...]

Penwood State Park’s Color Trails
Penwood: A Rainbow of Fun! Penwood State Park, Bloomfield & Simsbury Multiple Visits I am fortunate to live very near the MDC Reservoirs - Talcott Mountain State Park - Penwood State Park - Wilcox Park corridor of woods and trails. There are countless routes one can take to see different parts of these properties … [Read more...]
MDC Reservoir 6
The MDC is a Criminal Organization MDC Reservoir 6, Bloomfield, Simsbury, & West Hartford August 2020 I must admit... it's sort of weird writing about a place I've been to a million times. But here I am, nearly 14 years after starting this website and after 20 years of living nearby, doing just that. Yes, I just … [Read more...]
Southington’s Town Trails
Southington's Town Trails If you read Southington's Wiki entry or the town's website, you'll note that the bedroom community is described as being in between two mountain ranges. And while that's technically true, if you were standing in the center of town, you would hardly notice either. But hey, there's a … [Read more...]
Chester Land Trust
Chester Land Trust Oh, Chester. Everyone loves Chester. Not quite Essex, but not Deep River either. Chester is lovely. Randomly, my father grew up in Chester, Pennsylvania which is just south of Philadelphia. His family was part of the white flight in the 1950's and while Pennsylvania's Chester is now home to an MLS … [Read more...]
Southington Land Conservation Trust
Southington Land Conservation Trust Queen Street. I-84. I-84. Queen Street. I know some Southington residents who are pretty darn happy with their town, and probably don't want outsiders like me urging people to check out the town beyond the major thoroughfares. Well, tough. The town owns and maintains a … [Read more...]
Woodsmen Land Trust
Woodsmen Land Trust East Lyme & Montville This entity has me confused. They've existed for quite some time (since 2011) and... haven't really done all that much. To clarify - they may have been doing a ton of conservation work and stuff I don't know about. What I mean is, they hadn't done anything I'd be interested … [Read more...]
East Lyme Land Trust
East Lyme Land Trust There is a lot packed in to little East Lyme. And I'm not just talking about ticks either. I'm talking about trails. Lots of trails. And lots of entities that maintain those trails. The East Lyme Land Trust is but one. I kind of like the excitement of hiking trails on property owned by … [Read more...]
East Lyme’s Town Trails
East Lyme's Town Trails I was a bit surprised when I began compiling all the trails and hikeable properties in East Lyme. Little East Lyme... a state park, a state forest, four land trusts have holdings in town, plus there's the Richard H. Goodwin Trail to boot. Little East Lyme. Heck, the Yale place listed … [Read more...]
Farmington River Park
Roots Rock Farmington River Park, Bloomfield & Windsor May 2020 I've written several times about the pockets of Bloomfield over on the western edge along the Metacomet Ridge. And for good reason! Several cool trails course up and down the hill over there. But there are other "hidden" spots in Bloomfield - … [Read more...]
