  • CT Hiking Trails
    CFPA Trails & The Blue Trails Challenge CT Forest & Parks Association Trails 2006 – “There are well over 800 miles of blue-blazed hiking trails in many different towns in little ol’ Connecticut. A 52 mile section of the Appalachian Trail also cuts across the Northwest corner of the state. Sleeping Giant State Park Much of that is still true. I’d guess the CFPA trail network is closer to 1,000 miles now though, especially with the completion of the East-West Trail looming. And the AT is closer to 57 miles now. The CFPA will be releasing a new Walk Book in 2017 and have, of course, put everything online as well. For decades, there existed something called the Connecticut 400 Clubwhich recognized those who have hiked all the CFPA trails of Connecticut. Since the “Club’s” inception, over 400 more miles have been added to the task, but no one bothered to update the name. This is an interesting read; a old NYT article about the CT 400 when it was only the CT 400(500) not the CT 400(900 or whaterver it is) today. Then in 2015, the CFPA changed things up and retired the Club. Now you can earn rewards by hiking various lengths of CFPA trails: 200, 400, and 800 miles. I’m okay with the change. 1 Another recent change was the designation of The New England Trail as a National Scenic Trail. This includes the Menunkatuck, Mattabessett, and Metacomet Trails in Connecticut. (It continues north through Massachusetts to New Hampshire for a total of 215 miles.) The Connecticut Forest and Parks Association not only maintains our trails wonderfully, the also fight the good fights with regards to our precious environmental resources in our small state.
