• Cromwell Meadows Wildlife Management Area
  "Great Expanse of OPEN SPACE"
  "I've got to move my body...so I have moved my home ---and the first great walking and hiking area I have found is Cromwell Meadows Wildlife Management Area in Cromwell. You can reach this area by Route 9 or on the other side of the area off of Rt. 372 ( above the Stop and Shop) Let me also tel..."l you that about all the maps for this are of Cromwell and Middletown are not 100 % correct....but if you get off Route 9 just follow along and you will see a sign on the left for the area....and if your using Route 372 which by the way crosses route 9---once past this junction you will see a sign on the right side by a street stating it being the Wildlife Area. This area is great for everyone...the kids...the grandparents.....teens and adults. The paths are very well marked and laid with what I want to call railroad stones.

• River Highlands State Park
  "Hidden in plain sight"
  "My wife and I took our dogs here for an afternoon walk. We had downloaded the trail map from the CT state park web page. There has been a lot of what seems to be unauthorized trail creation and blazing. This made for a lot of confusion as we tried to navigate once we turned away from the river walk...." The trails that were supposedly on our map were poorly maintained and the blazing was almost non-existent. Still this was a beautiful little park. The walk along the ridge next to the river offered some really nice views and we had the park to ourselves. The camping area was well kept and gave us access to the river (camping is only for river travelers). All in all a sweet little park. " More >
