Paugussett Trail a Connecticut Blue-Blazed Trail
Paugussett Trail A Connecticut Blue-Blazed Trail The historic Paugussett Trail stretches 13 miles from Buddington Road in Shelton to East Village in Monroe. The trail is designed for advanced hikers, and is closed to mountain bikes except at Shelton Lakes. Portions of the trail are steep or have difficult footing. Most of the route crosses public land, but a few sections are on private property, and users are asked to stay on the trail and be respectful. Trail features include: Eklund Wildflower Garden, Hope Lake, Silent Waters, Indian Well Falls, and overlooks of the Housatonic River and Lake Zoar. Rustic trailside campsites are available at Webb Mountain Park (contact the Monroe Parks Department for information). The trail is marked with blue blazes on trees or other objects. A pair of offset blue blazes indicates a turn in the direction of the upper blaze. Where the trail follows a roadway, look for blazes on telephone poles, curbs, or manhole covers. PARKING There are many places with limited parking along the trail (see map). Larger lots that may accommodate groups include: Nells Rock Road; Shelton Dog Park; Shelton Intermediate School (when school is not in session); Indian Well State Park (Falls parking); and Webb Mountain Park in Monroe. MILEAGE (Approx.) From Buddington Rd Hope Lake 1.4 mi. Silent Waters 2.1 mi. Indian Well Falls 4.6 mi. Birchbank Mtn 6.6 mi Webb Mtn 10.5 mi Cottage St./Lake Zoar 12 mi.

Ridgelines Spring 2013
Newsletter of the West Rock Ridge Park Association Spring 2013 Regicide Drive to summit view will open to motorists on Sat., May 25! FROM THE PRESIDENT I had the pleasure of attending Friends of Connecticut State Parks Day at the state capitol on March 20th, together with Bill Doheny, past WRRPA president and current board member, and my wife, Amy. This year is the 100-year anniversary of Connecticut state parks, and there is a wonderful centennial photo display in the Legislative Office Building concourse. We spoke with representatives from 21 other volunteer groups that support our state parks, with DEEP Commissioner Dan Esty, and with our State Senator, Joseph Crisco, who has long been a strong supporter of West Rock Ridge State Park. Senator Crisco was one of the first legislators to join a new initiative supporting state parks and has “adopted” West Rock Ridge State Park; we are hopeful that our state representatives will join him in this initiative. Legislators who adopt a park agree to work with the park’s volunteer organization and with the DEEP to publicize the park and help advocate for the needs of the state park system. State parks are one of Connecticut’s most valuable natural assets. According to a 2011 UConn Economic Study, Connecticut State Parks attract over $1 billion and support over 9,000 jobs each year. Only 74 field staff are currently available to manage the 107 State Parks, and 15 of those staff are eligible for retirement in July, 2013. Because of rescissions and continued attrition, several parks will either not be opened or will have services reduced in 2013. -

CGC Awards 2021
2021 CT Greenways Council Awards Accepted by CCG on April 13 and awarded on June 4 John Hankins Nominated by Bill O’Neill For decades, John Hankins has supported, and continues to support, greenways in many ways. As a professional environmental scientist he has provided pro bono services for Phase I studies and beyond for various trails including the Cheney Rail Trail. He is a major contributor to the activities of Bike Walk Bolton. He participated in all of BWB’s CT Forest & Park Assoc Trails Day Events, describing the geology of Bolton Notch. He participated in ditch-cleaning efforts along the Hop River Trail and is helping organize BWB s attempt to form an alliance with all the towns along the Hop River Trail. John completed a photographic documentation of the Hop River Trail conditions from Vernon to Willimantic. These photos (more than 100) are labeled with associated maps and became the basis for the before/after photo comparison that has been part of the CT Trails Day event that BWB organizes and which documents the horrible condition the rail bed was in before it was turned into the resource it is today. John coordinated a trail counter validation effort during the spring of 2020 to estimate the number of trail users at Bolton Notch and he helped advocate for the construction of a new section of the East Coast Greenway in Bolton by coordinating participation from Thread City Riders. He is a Nipmuck Trail Steward and manages/maintains a major section of this trail which involves making and maintaining foot bridges and trail clearing from downed trees. -
