West Hartford's Town Trails I live in West Hartford. I've lived here since 2000, first renting with a friend, then renting with my new wife, then buying one house, and then moving into another in late 2019. I rather enjoy it, but we have almost no green space. If I were to exclude the MDC property, which I should … [Read more...]

Bishop West Trails
I’m a Pawn to Bishop Bishop West Trails, ~1.2 miles one way, Woodbridge September 21, 2014 The sun had risen on me during my earlier hike on the eastern side of route 69, over at the Bishop East/Darling House property. You can read about that hike here, and it would probably make sense to do so, since this hike … [Read more...]
WLT: Bishop Estate East & Darling House Trails
Regicides’ Rain Bishop Estate East, Woodbridge September 21, 2014 The more I hike around Connecticut, the more I realize how much interconnection there is with our trails. For years when I’d hike the blue-blazes of the CFPA trails, I’d totally ignore the side trails that went off to who-knows-where. But … [Read more...]
Woodbridge’s Town Trails
Woodbridge Land Trust & Town Trails Woodbridge makes it impossible to separate the land trust from the town trails. I bet you didn't know that the Woodbridge Land Trust is one of the oldest land trusts in Connecticut. Of course, I've read that on dozens of land trust websites. It's as if there's not cut-off or … [Read more...]
Albert E. Moss Sanctuary
Frankly, I Expected More Moss Albert E. Moss Sanctuary, Mansfield May 30, 2014 I had some time and I had a map. I needed no other reasons to get in my first official Mansfield Town Trail - oh, other than the fact that I was literally one minute away from the trailhead I guess. UConn/Storrs has changed so … [Read more...]
Mansfield’s Town Trails
Mansfield’s Town Trails Hellooooo Mansfield! I used to live in you! Many different parts of you, actually. I lived in your Jungle at UConn – Middlesex 4th Represent! And I lived in an assortment of random off-campus dwellings during the summers of my UConn experience. I have shopped in your woefully outdated and … [Read more...]
Blackledge Falls
”Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls...” Blackledge Falls, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 This hike was part of a twofer. That’s right, I was putting my boys through the paces – first a few miles away at Shoddy Mill Preserve and now here at Blackledge Falls near Glastonbury’s border with Hebron. (On subsequent days, … [Read more...]
Shoddy Mill Preserve
Not Too Shoddy Shoddy Mill Preserve, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 I’ve been on a kick lately hiking with my sons. Credit the endless winter of 2013-14 and our shared need to just get outside now that the weather has warmed above freezing. (That and my OCD telling me that build out my new CTMQ sections on land … [Read more...]
Tolland’s Town Trails
Tolland’s Town Trails Tolland has done me a favor and I love them for it. You see, when I first put this page together years ago, there were “competing” Tolland town trail resources. It appears that they’ve coalesced and now most of what I am calling Tolland’s Town Trails all fall under the Tolland Conservation … [Read more...]
Mill Pond Trail
Duck, Duck, Goose... Spiral Slide! Mill Pond Trail, Newington March 2014 Yes, I know. I know this is a somewhat ridiculous “trail” and to have its own page on CTMQ is a bit silly. Don’t I have enough to write about already? Must I bother with a little walk around a pond in Newington? Yes and yes. But once … [Read more...]
