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...]

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...]
Langhammer Trail
Puttin' the Langhammer Down Langhammer Trail, Ashford August 2019 I know you don't care a whit about the following sentence, but I'm going to type it anyway. I didn't learn about Langhammer's existence until after I "completed" everything in Ashford. I've always been very clear that when I "complete" a … [Read more...]
Hartford’s Town Trails
Hartford's Town Trails You didn't come here expecting much of anything, did you? Hartford is an 18 square mile city. Like a real city. Sure, there are a few parks - nice parks! - but most don't have any trails per se. Keney Park has trails; lots of trails! And there's the string of parks and efforts along … [Read more...]
LaSalette Trail
Ideas are Blooming LaSalette Trail, Bloomfield & Simsbury At the time of this writing, I have no idea when the gaps in the LaSalette Trail will be closed - or even if they officially will be someday. Nor do I care, really. Such is my excitement for this trail that I'm forging ahead with hiking it and writing about … [Read more...]
Hampton’s Town Trails

Seabury Wildwood Trails
Keeping Bloomfield in Control Seabury Wildwood Trails, Bloomfield April 2015 & March 2020 You won't believe this, but this property took me three visits to complete all of its trails. Three! Add a fourth visit to check out the "Large-scale Wintonbury Flying Club Fly-in" and I'm basically a Seabury regular. … [Read more...]
Warren’s Town Trails Intro
Warren's Town Trails Like you, I know nothing about Warren. This is how Warren likes it. I have been able to discern that there is this place called Warren's Woods that is owned by the town. There is a pond there with a pavilion and some picnic tables and stuff. Are there trails there? One trail? I have no … [Read more...]
Westbrook’s Town Trails
Westbrook's Town Trails Westbrook is not Westport. Westbrook is not Westport. Now say it out loud. I don't know if anyone besides me needs this reminder, but I mix the two towns up all the time. I forget which one is the Gold Coast fancy Fairfield County one and which is the fairly undeveloped and rather quiet … [Read more...]
Cornwall’s Town Trails
Cornwall's Town Trails You don't go to Cornwall to hike and end up hiking the town's trail along the Housatonic River. You just don't. It's Cornwall, a land of dozens of fantastic hiking opportunities up mountains and through rolling hayfields with views of covered bridges and white churches. But you're … [Read more...]
