3.1 miles; East Lyme, CT It’s been a tad over 7 years since I last hiked here, and I guess I really didn’t see that much of it the first time because I found a whole ‘nuther set of trails that went over the Amtrak tracks and to a gorgeous old building that fronts the […]

4 miles; Westerly, RI Found a gpx file for this route through Woody Hill on AllTrails. Woody Hill, being a wildlife management area, doesn’t contain what you’d call blazed trails, although, like its much larger cousin Big River, it has become a mountain bike destination.

6.5 miles; Groton, CT This was mostly a revisit to a place I hiked with my friends Stacy and Dallas back in April of 2017. Through this blog I was asked by someone at the Rails to Trails Conservancy if I had any pictures of the trail from that original hike. Turns out I didn’t have any […]

2.8 miles; North Stonington, Preston, and Griswold, CT The weather was just so beautiful (especially for February!) that I had to get out, and I’m very glad I did.
