Middlesex Land Trust Trails
Cromwell, Durham, East Hampton, Middlefield, Middletown, Portland and Haddam
Hoo boy. This one’s a doozy. While I completely understand that it is nigh impossible for little land trusts to keep and maintain a nice website that allows the few who care to easily tease out the trailed properties from the non, I can still lodge mild complaints when I come across them.
Right?
Right. The MLT sprawls across six central Connecticut towns and has parcels of land stuck in between all sorts of state forests, state parks, CFPA hikes, suburbia, other land trust lands, etc. I appreciate their difficulties. My “issue,” such as it is, is that I can’t be confident that my list of trailed properties below is accurate with a 95% degree of confidence – and the only way to sort it out is to check it all out.
