Middlebury Land Trust Middlebury What’s up, Middlebury? How are you doing? Good? Good. Hey, I have a suggestion. I think there are some decent trails in town, but finding them online has been quite difficult. Your town website is useless, so my Middlebury Town Trail page is... sparse. Perhaps that reflects … [Read more...]

Middlebury’s Town Trails
Middlebury’s Town Trails I can’t pretend (at the time of this writing) that this page is the full list of Middlebury Town Trailage. After doing a hundred of these types of intro pages on CTMQ, Middlebury is proving to be as difficult as any. But I accept the challenge – and I look to you, fair Middleburyites, … [Read more...]
Mountain Laurel Sanctuary
Peak Failage Mountain Laurel Sanctuary, Nipmuck State Forest, Union July 2018 On New Years Eve Day in 2016, I visited this place with my son Calvin. Who visits a Mountain Laurel Sanctuary in the dead of winter? We do... but we merely drove through it then to attain the all-important highest point in Windham … [Read more...]
Holcomb Farm (West)
Woods in Woods Holcomb Farm (West), Granby April 2018 It's always fun when three generations of Woods can get out into the woods together. (My last name is Wood.) Such was the case in early April 2018 when my parents were visiting for Calvin's 7th birthday. I'm sure Granddad wanted nothing more than to hike a few … [Read more...]
Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Intro
Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Good old Old Saybrook. Not exactly the first town one thinks of when thinking of going for a hike in Connecticut. My guess is that they think about the little borough of Fenwick and all the massive and beautiful “summer cottages” of 19th century magnates... and Katherine Hepburn. But … [Read more...]
Eastford’s Town Trails
Eastford’s Town Trails Eastford is remote and rural and barely populated. A huge percentage of the town’s square mileage is taken up by the Natchaug State Forest. (Through which courses the CFPA’s Natchaug Trail). Another chunk of forest is owned by Yale - which I've included here... just because. This still … [Read more...]
FLT: Cowles/Nancy Conklin Trail
I Keep Hiking for Millions of Reasons Cowles Parcel/Nancy Conklin Nature Trail, Farmington, 1.3 miles June 28, 2018 My employer’s annual work outing occurs in late June at the Farmington Club. It doesn’t really get going until 10 AM, so after dropping off my son, I had some time to kill before sitting around and … [Read more...]
Salmon Brook Park
Nothing Fishy Here Salmon Brook Park, Granby June 2018 When I put my Guide to Granby together, I noted that there were “hiking trails” at the town’s main municipal park. So on a day when I had some extra time after a work outing before picking up my son from school, I sought to check out those trails. The … [Read more...]
New England 50 Finest
NEFF The New England Fifty Finest Another rather ambitious peak-bagging list that I'd love to complete, but I think real life will make this one difficult. This is a rather unique list that doesn’t have too much overlap with other, more popular lists. The list comprises the 50 summits with the highest topographic … [Read more...]
North Stonington’s Town Trails Intro
North Stonington’s Town Trail NoSto. Finally. Finally a town nickname that makes sense. NoSto. I live in WeHa, and I hate that moniker. But I like NoSto. If only because “North Stonington” is the longest Connecticut town name and it gets annoying to type. As for trails in town, you’ve got some state … [Read more...]
