== Description ==

The Whittemore Sanctuary is 686 acres and it is managed by the [http://www.flandersnaturecenter.org Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust].  It was aquired by the FLanders in 1999. The trails are open to the public 7 days a week year round. Flanders also offers environmental and educational programs. 

For those not familiar with the area, White Deer Rock Rd is partially a dirt road. The 3 car parking space off of White Deerk Rock road is not paved.

The sancturay contains two ponds. The smaller pond lies at the junction of the green and blue trails. At this location there is a single picnic table.

The larger pond is the home of many different types of birds. There is a wooden structure on the north side of the larger pond off the yellow trail which allows a great vantage point for bird watching.

== Description ==

Wadsworth State Park is located near Middlefield, CT. It is made up of 267 acres of land. There are two falls in the park. The first is the larger and more well known Wadsworth Falls. There is also the Wadsworth Little Falls. The smaller falls doesn't have nearly as much volume of water but they are still fun to see espically during the spring when there is more water flowing over them.

There are two ways to access the park. There is a parking lot located on Cherry Hill Road. This parking lot has room for ~10 cars and can fill up. The falls can be heard from this location and are a short walk away.

There is also a parking lot at the north end of the park off of route 157. There are a series of trails that can be taken from this parking lot to either falls.

== Description ==

Southbury Falls State Park is right off of route 188 in Oxford, CT. The park contains picnic tables, a pond and the [[Southford Falls]] for which its named.

There is a short red loop trail in the park that is roughly 2 miles long. If you plan on taking this trail make sure to keep your eyes peeled as there are a couple very sharp turns. There are several deer paths which may continue straight where you are suppose to turn and can make it easy to get off path. There is a couple steep climbs in the path but for the most part it is very flat. 

If you don't want to do the full loop, the red loop trail follows the Eightmile Brook for a ways before cutting into the forest with a sharp turn. The walk along the brook is very pleasing and offers almost no elevation. 

Just past the waterfall there is also a covered bridge with some old world charm. From the bridge you can look down on the stream flowing under it. There are also some picnic tables near by.

Roughly half way around the loop there is an old fire tower. This fire tower is open and you can still climb up in it. Make sure to use caution though as the steps are very wide. Unfortunately there isn't much of a view left at the top of the tower. The trees have grown up around it reducing visability.

There is a while blaze that leaves the Shenipsit trail just before the trail crosses route 2. It is not recommended to cross route 2 as it is a 4 lane highway with no cross walk for hikers. The while trail provides a good opportunity for a car spot. The white trail exits onto Dickenson Rd. There is parking available for 6 cars in a little parking lot just short of the end of the road.

== Description ==

The blue trail on the Shade Swamp Sanctuary in Farmington, CT is an easy stroll through a marsh area. In the summer time the insects can be annoying but there can be some good bird watching.
 
There is a structure at the parking area for the blue trail which was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Its worth while to stop by to appreciate a structure built during the Great Depression era.
 
Just beyond the parking lot down the trail there are several cages left from an old small zoo. The State operated a breeding operation and maintained the small zoo year round. While most of the animals kept were birds, the smaller size of the cages is a little shocking.

However motor vehical access is prohibited.

There is very little elevation gain if you stick to the trails near the reserviors and the trails are great for beginners.

'''WARNING: The trail from Tudor Rd north to Route 53 is closed from February to July. During this time, there are Northern Goshawks that are nesting in the area. They have very sharp claws and they will attack hikers. Do not ignore the posted warnings.'''

In order to hike this trail you must have a permit. A permit is a trail map. There are numerous signs posted stating that you must have a permit. This is because this trail is near a watershed area and it is important to stay on the trail. There are a number of trail maps available including the [http://www.ctwoodlands.org/node/17 Connecticut Walk Book], one is available from the Mark Twain Library, or you can print one using the trail map link above.

The Saugatuck Trail conveniently has portable toilets at almost every parking spot. Each parking spot has room for 2-3 cars on average. The northern terminus can be difficult to find. Use 56 Deer Hill Rd as an approximate address. The very northern section does not have blue blazes until you have walked .2 miles south of the northern terminus.

== Description ==

This hike is part of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association's blue blazed trails. This is a great trail because there is a park roughly half way through the hike near the pond where there are picnic tables. It's a great place to sit down and have a bite to eat in the moddle of the hike.

This hike is unique in that you may be lucky in spotting the flower called Lady Slippers along the way. This is a protected plant and should not be picked! They are a delight to see during the hike. 

This hike is also unique because there is a covered bridge dating from the 1800's at the beginning of the hike. The covered bridge is at the start of the hike.

There are a number of hills which make this loop hike a little more challenging. See the topographic maps for more details.

Parking: There are a few ways to access the park. There is a turn around at the end of Dayton St. where the south end of the park starts. Dayton St is very narrow and there isn't really parking room at the turn around. There is a bridge that goes from Glen Rd to the end of Dayton St. There is a parking lot on Glen Rd for the park. In order to get to the bridge to cross to the south end of the park where Al's Trail starts you will have to walk north of Glen St.

 Heading North, the white trail starts on Flood Bridge Rd and heads up the red farm house driveway. At the gate it merges with the Yellow trail for a brief moment until you reach the parking lot. From the parking lot it continues on a grassy mowed path with the blue trail. Keep your eyes open - during the summer there are black raspberries in this area. The white trail eventually separates itself after crossing the red trail and continues out to East Hill Road. On the other side of the road, it continues to Transylvania Rd.

The Piper Trail leads to the summit of Mountain Chocorua. This trail should only be attempted by hikers with experience. The trail starts very wide at the base. As you start the hike, you will be surrounded by trees. The trail continuously slopes upwards throughout the entire hike. The yellow blazes are not all ways placed at regular intervals. At the top mountain, the yellow blazes are more visible. 

The last 1.5 miles is exposed; there are no trees. This means there is no protection from the wind. Gusts can cause a loss of balance and decreased effective temperature.
