Wallingford
Quinnipiac River Linear
Trail
Date visited: 12/3/2020
This is a paved walking trail that runs along the Quinnipiac River near the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Wallingford. There is a cool tunnel that goes under the parkway, and some side trails that we explored as well.
Wharton Brook State
Park
Date visited: 2/14/2021
This park straddles the border between North Haven and Wallingford. We hiked a short loop trail that meanders through the woods near the highway. When we were there, people were ice-fishing. There was also a lot of sledders utilizing the big hill.
Tyler Mill
Preserve
Date visited: 11/27/2021
We hiked the 1.1 mile "blue loop" trail that circles "Moss Rock". The trail featured a very steep climb in the beginning, but the rest of it was more level and the decline was gradual. There is an extensive network of trails here, but since this was the second stop of the day, we only hiked the short loop trail.
Fresh Meadow
Date visited: 10/29/2022
This is a newer trail, on town land. There appears to be another trail area called "Fresh Meadows", that is maintained by Wallingford Land Trust and not related to this parcel. Anyway, "Fresh Meadow" consists of four different short trails, we didn't do the "Cheshire Road Trail" that is across the street from the other three. The Pond Trail is a super short spur off of the Butterfly Meadow Loop Trail. These are completely flat stone dust trails through a meadow. The third trail is called "Tessa's Trail", and climbs a hill. At the top of the hill, there is a stone fireplace area with two wicker chairs. This spot overlooks a golf course just beyond the property.
