This 1.5 mile trail has a trail head that is rather well hidden within the grounds of Coginchaug Regional High School. It ambles gently through the woods finishing 1.5 miles away from the start. There is a red and blue trail you can use an alternative route back to the start so that you can make this a more interesting 2.5 mile loop.This property was given to CFPA by Howard Brigham Field, Jr after his death in 1999. Mr. Field was a conservationist and longtime resident of Durham who loved the property and wanted it to be protected in perpetuity for the community.

This trail is only 0.4 miles long and is described as a stand alone trail in its own right as part of the CFPA Blue Blaze Series. The rocky and wooded shady ascent takes you steeply up to a stunning viewpoint with great views.The trail shares the same car park as the Scovill Loop Trails and has a superb viewpoint at the top where you can see the Connecticut River in the distance.The trail follows the route of a disused quarry from the 19th Century and is a steady climb up to the viewpoint. Its mainly shaded in the woods but quite exposed at the top section.

This is the perfect little 1.5 mile trail near Middletown is perfect for the family. Its part of the CFPA Blue Blaze Series of Trails. With the two small loops you are never far from the car and car park and you get the variation of the rocky trails through the woods and the lovely section by the sandy shore of the lake with a BBQ pit and Picnic table. The southern loop is also fun but more of a ‘swamp fest’ so you will definitely need your bug spray.
