East Granby

East Granby Farms

Date visited: 10/7/2021

Despite the name, this isn't really a farm. It's actually a really nice town park in East Granby. There are some mowed walking trails through an open field, as well as the Brian Spears Trail, which we did not walk this go around. After walking around the mowed trails, we returned to the park portion where there are some good photo spots. We were here a week or so before peak foliage. I bet the colors really pop here during the peak.

Cowles Park

Date visited: 11/24/2020

This is a nice town owned park with trails. Unfortunately, completing the loop requires you to walk on the side of a main road for a little bit, before the trail picks up again on the side of someone's yard. There are also some zig-zaggy mountain bike trails here too. There are trails that will connect you to the blue blazed Metacomet trail from here as well.

This is part of the multi-town trail that follows the path of the old Farmington Canal and subsequent train line. It passes in and out of Granby and East Granby a couple of times. We've walked the entire section in Granby and East Granby.

Granbrook Park

Date visited: 11/24/2021

This is another town park, with some playgrounds and athletic fields. It's also a popular spot for fishing. The only trails are short trails, one leads to the brook, and another leads to a corn field. The bridge in the background of one of the pictures caries the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, but there doesn't seem to be any access to it from the park.
