Easton’s Town Trails
Easton’s Town Trails What up, Easton? Can you hear me? Probably not, since the town seems to be infamous for poor cell service. What's weird about that is that despite the fact you can't find Easton on a map, it's bordered by the well-known and heavily populated Fairfield, Trumbull, and is mere feet from touching … [Read more...]
Weston’s Town Trails
Weston’s Town Trails Weston is a weird town. I have this hypothetical competition in my head regarding which Connecticut town is the strangest. Of course, there’s no set criteria to determine “weird,” so I can’t definitively say that one town is weirder than the rest. But Weston is certainly in the … [Read more...]
Manship Park & Kinne Preserve
Canterbury Trails Robert Manship Park & Kinne Preserve Canterbury, June 2019 I had to find trails to hike in Canterbury. I just had to. Why? So that I could write the title "Canterbury Trails".

There is a nice little pond there which is open for fishing only to kids under 16 which is a nice concept. But the trails behind … [Read more...]
East Granby Farms’ Brian Spears Trail
Peak East Granby East Granby Farms Trail, East Granby April 2019 Yo, so glad you’re here. You’ve found your way to my favorite trail in East Granby not named Metacomet. I can hear the Cowles Park fanboys crying and I don’t care. Cowles is cool, and especially friendly to mountain bikers, but the official loop … [Read more...]

Windsor Locks’ Town Trails
Windsor Locks' Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think Windsor Locks had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day some lovely CTMQ reader commented, "Hey, Steve, you missed one! There is indeed a town-owned trail in Windsor … [Read more...]
East Hartford’s Town Trails
East Hartford's Town Trails This page used to be nothing more than an apology to you for having wound up here. I used to think East Hartford had no trailed properties that they oversaw. Then one day I was driving down Long Hill Road and saw a big sign for "East Hartford Nature Park Trails!" I turned down … [Read more...]
