We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we recreate is the territory of the Mohegan, Mashantucket Pequot, Eastern Pequot, Schaghticoke, Golden Hill Paugussett, Nipmuc, and Lenape Peoples, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We thank them for their strength and resilience in protecting this land, and aspire to uphold our responsibilities according to their example.

We are confident that Connecticut Trail Finder will become your go-to resource for discovering new trails in your backyard and across the state.
Why? Because every trail page on Connecticut Trail Finder has been vetted and approved by the people who know it best, the trail managers. Whether it is a state park, a town trail, a land trust preserve or a national treasure like the Appalachian Trail, the information we provide on the website comes right from the volunteers, trail stewards and park rangers who have on-the-ground knowledge of each trail system.
Our goal is to share all trails that are open to the public throughout the state of Connecticut, but we aren’t just a list of trails. We have set up the site so you can find and track all the information you need to plan safe and fun adventures outdoors.
