Essex’s Town Trails "Essex's?" Is that right? It doesn't look right. But what else could the possessive of Essex be? Essex has an awesome land trust organization with a phenomenal trail guide.

Killingly’s Town Trails
Killingly’s Trails Killingly me softly... I find Killingly to be one of the most fascinating towns in Connecticut. I can’t really pinpoint why, exactly, but it has a lot to do with the fact it is, perhaps, the ultimate Swamp Yankee town. It has a hardscrabble “downtown” in Danielson, sure, but it has many … [Read more...]
Trumbull’s Town Trails

Plainville’s Town Trails
Plainville’s Town Trails I question why I bother with introductory pages for towns with only one trail. Then I remember that it satisfies my quirky list-making OCD and I go on my merry way.

Cromwell’s Town Trails
Cromwell’s Town Trails To be fair to fair Cromwell, Cromwell is a river town. And a golfing town. It's not so much a hiking town. (Although there is a very nice state park with some decent trails... along the river. Because it's a river town.) So the town owned parks and woods are not extensive. But they … [Read more...]
