Connecticut State Park Journeys: Trout Brook Valley

I finished 2021 checking off another state park from my list! I have visited 29 of the 107 Connecticut State Parks so far. It’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon 🙂 This was a hike I did with my three kids, all did totally fine, an easier hike. We did almost four miles, but shorter… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Trout Brook Valley

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Lamentation Mountain

My middle daughter fractured her foot in October so our hiking has been minimal. Boo. I’ve been able to go out with my sister a couple of times and we checked Lamentation off our state park list. We paired it with Giuffrida Park because Lamentation isn’t that big of a place. Here’s the track I… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Lamentation Mountain

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Hammonasset

Hammonasset is a state park I’ve visited a bunch of times, but mostly to swim at the beach. Recently I went to the state park to experience other parts of it.

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Mount Tom

Mount Tom State Park is one of the oldest state parks! Like Haystack and Talcott Mountains, you get rewarded for your hiking venture to the top, a tower to oversee all. My family and I climbed Mt. Tom on a Friday morning so there wasn’t really anyone else there. I can’t say how crowded it… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Mount Tom

Connecticut State Park Journeys: Harkness Memorial

While not a hiking state park, Harkness Memorial State Park is one of the parks that had been at the top of my list of Connecticut parks to visit, simply because of it’s beauty. Right on the coast in Waterford, with an old mansion (it’s named Eolia), beautiful summer gardens and plenty of space to… Read More Connecticut State Park Journeys: Harkness Memorial
