Manchester Land Conservation Trust Manchester, East Hartford, Bolton, Vernon, Andover, & Glastonbury Shout out to the MLCT! These guys really made me work to find which of their many properties are trailed. I won't dwell on it too much, because they may update the way they present their trails online someday and … [Read more...]

Knapp
Don’t Knapp on This Place Simsbury Land Trust’s Knapp Property, Simsbury November 2016 When one is redlining Simsbury, one must hike every trail. Like, every trail. True red-liners care about crossover paths and every side trail too. And when one is redlining Simsbury, one must hike every non-trail trail. … [Read more...]
Darling Wildlife Sanctuary
My Little Darlings Darling Wildlife Sanctuary November 2016 I learned of this little sanctuary via the Simsbury Land Trust 2016 Walk Book. But it’s not a Simsbury Land Trust property. To the best of my knowledge, it is a town of Simsbury property. So that’s how I’m treating it. Also, the sign says … [Read more...]
Simsbury’s Town Trails
Simsbury's Town Trails Simsbury taught me some lessons. The very first CTMQ page, ever, was about the Pinchot Sycamore in Simsbury. The very first non-CFPA trail on the CTMQ was in Simsbury. The town showed me that I needed to expand my horizons beyond the original confines of this site. And that's when, way … [Read more...]
TSTL’16.9: Squantz Pond State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2016 Hiking Challenge #9 Pootatuck State Forest/Squantz Pond State Park, New Fairfield August 30, 2016 I know the title here is Squantz Pond, but 99% of this hike was not in the state park but rather in the Pootatuck State Forest. “Squantz.” Go ahead. Say that word a few times in your … [Read more...]
TSTL’16.8: Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2016 Hiking Challenge #8 Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park, Suffield/Windsor Locks July 2016 This section, notably the southernmost bit and parking area, has been cleaned up and is much nicer than the apocalyptic wasteland described below. Of all the Sky’s the Limit Challenge hikes we’ve … [Read more...]
Audubon, Nature Conservancy, RWA, and US Army Corps of Engineers Trails
Audubon, Nature Conservancy, South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority, and US Army Corps of Engineers Trails I've thrown a bunch of very different entities' trails together on this one main page because... because I wanted to. And while you may think these are not hikes worth your time and effort, I'm here … [Read more...]
TSTL’16.7: James L. Goodwin Forest
The Sky's the Limit 2016 Hiking Challenge #7 James L. Goodwin Forest, Hampton June 26, 2016 Nobody ever thinks about Hampton, Connecticut. Your mind is probably drifting away from the thought of Hampton right now. Stop doing that – focus! Sometimes you’ll see Hampton mentioned in geo-oddity blurbs because … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Long Pasture
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Long Pasture, Barnstable August 2016 The little center in Barnstable on the western end of Cape Cod is, I think, the newest of the Mass Audubon Centers. It's in a house that has been converted to... well, most of it appears to still be a house, but the living room is now a … [Read more...]
