4.2 miles; Voluntown, CT Haven’t been on this trail since the drunk hunters way back when, and I missed it. Glad to be back. This is an even better look at the newly-installed boardwalk along a particularly treacherous section of the trail along the side of the ravine. I especially like the log ladder leading […]

6.1 miles; East Haddam, CT Had this hike on my “Hikes I’d Like to Do” list forever, and just decided to go for it today. Glad I did… It’s a very nice property. This is actually a combination of two properties. Imma just let the Town of East Haddam take it from here: The 280-acre […]

First some geography: The Thimble Islands, named after the once-ubiquitous thimbleberry bush and a prime source of […]

6 miles; New Haven, CT I decided to do this 7-mile blue-blazed trail in sections after seeing how intense it was with my friend Stacy last month. VERY glad I made this decision.
