Hartland’s Town Trails

June 23, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Hartland's Town Trails I know someone who grew up in Hartland. Really, I do. While there may be more bears than humans in the town, the humans I know from there are lovely humans. (And I'm sure the bears are lovely too. In fact, Hartland is one place that the state DEEP take the bears that have been captured from … [Read more...]

East Haddam’s Town Trails

June 19, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

East Haddam's Town Trails Audubon property, Nature Conservancy property, land trust property, multiple state parks, a state wildlife management area, and heck, even a random Eight Mile River Wild & Scenic Watershed property... all in East Haddam on the Connecticut River. There couldn't possibly be any room left for … [Read more...]

Stonington’s Town Trails Intro

June 8, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

Stonington's Town Trails Huge credit to Stonington's Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center to building out a network of trails from it's main museum through the woods and over to its Coogan Farm property a few blocks away. All in the congested and touristy Mystic section of the town. Granted, there are other … [Read more...]

Sterling’s Town Trails

May 31, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Sterling's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no Sterling-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below. There aren't too many roads in Sterling. Or people. Heck, it was created as an offshoot town of Voluntown. … [Read more...]

Cowles Park

May 27, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Don't be Cowled Cowles Park, East Granby May 2019 Before setting out at Cowles Park, whether on foot or on mountain bike, just know that you will take a wrong turn somewhere. You won't get lost in any real sense, but you will get confused. (If you get lost in a real sense, your sense of direction needs some work, … [Read more...]

Wethersfield’s Town Trails

May 21, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Wethersfield's Town Trails Wethersfield is all about its history and the two old highways that cleave the town - The Berlin Turnpike and The Silas Deane Highway. People don't go to Wethersfield to hike. But I will. I must. It is my calling. Writing this before having stepped a foot in any Wethersfield … [Read more...]

Paul Ode Trail & Fred Wolfe Park

May 18, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

An Ode to a Wolfe Paul Ode Trail & Fred Wolfe Park Trails, Orange January 2020 Ah yes, January 2020. Temperature in the 60's, whispers of some new virus in the hinterlands of China... not a care in the world. Such innocent times. And what better to do than head down to Orange for some quick walks around the … [Read more...]

Stamford’s Town Trails Into

May 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

Colebrook’s Town Trails

May 6, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

LaSalette Open Space

May 5, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

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...]
