Stamford's Town Trails Stamford is a city. Like, a real honest-to-goodness city. With tall buildings and Fortune 500 companies and bars and everything. Heck, it even has a Trump building. But it also has some trails because Stamford also has suburbs! And beachfront! This is all a bit crazy here in Connecticut. … [Read more...]

Hawk Hill Farm
Hawk the Herald Angels Sing Hawk Hill Farm, ~1 mile, Bloomfield April 2020 I just love the fact that there are so many Bloomfield hikes. I don't really know what the collective thought about Bloomfield is, but I'd guess it has nothing to do with all the available trails to hike. Even though part of Talcott … [Read more...]
Colebrook’s Town Trails
Colebrook's Town Trails Don't worry, your friends probably don't know where Colebrook is either. It's okay - Colebrookians like it that way. (It's north of Winsted on the Massachusetts border if that helps.) And while it is mostly either forest or reservoir, there really don't seem to be too many "town trails." … [Read more...]
Colebrook Land Conservancy
Colebrook Land Conservancy Colebrook Colebrook is beautiful. Colebrook is the Connecticut town that time forgot. A store, a church or two, some houses of course, and... a whole lot of woods. Most of those woods are the Algonquin State Forest, but the local land conservancy has a few parcels as well. One … [Read more...]
LaSalette Open Space
On a Mission LaSalette Open Space, Bloomfield July 2019 & April 2020 I've seen this place called LaSalette Park as much as LaSalette Open Space. Get it together Bloomfield. The property bumps up against the Wintonbury Land Trust's Hawk Hill Farm property and the maps of both sort of bleed over into each other. Get … [Read more...]
Prospect Land Trust Intro
Prospect Land Trust Prospect When I think of Prospect, I think of the caricature old toothless 49'er prospector. And that was before my friend Matt, who lives in Prospect, told me that whenever he tells people he lives in town he does the toothless arm jive we associate with such caricatures. (For the record, I … [Read more...]
Prospect’s Town Trails
Prospect's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no Prospect-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below. But here's a thing - Prospect is called Prospect because of the views the town provides as it contains the … [Read more...]
Bates Nature Trail at Herrick Park
Mastering Bates Herrick Park, Bolton April 2020 I keep an ongoing list of CTMQ stuff for each town that none of you can see. On Bolton's list, I had something like, "a trail at Herrick park." Then when I put the Bolton Town Guide together, I searched the internet high and low for confirmation that there was a … [Read more...]
BLT: Blackledge Marsh
Cul-de-Quick Blackledge Marsh, Bolton April 2020 When I decide to "attack" a town's trail system, I make a little game out of it. Look at the list of trails, sort out where they are and how many I can do in one trip, and make a plan. However, when I have Calvin with me, I must sometimes change things on the … [Read more...]
Voluntown’s Town Trails Intro
Voluntown's Town Trails A huge percentage of Voluntown is covered by Pachaug State Forest - Connecticut's largest state forest. The CFPA oversees FOUR trails that course through the rural eastern town. These two entities consume pretty much all the available trail land in the town. But not all of it. … [Read more...]
