Summary: Out of Date
Comment: This book is out of date and has inadequate directions. The walk to Dudleytown is not open to the public, but the book does not mention anything about it. Upon arriving to Dudleytown, (one of the recommended walks) we were harassed by a local resident who came after us to ensure our car would be towed if we dared. Upon trying to find other nearby walks, we learned the driving directions were incorrect. More importantly, the walks we did find were wonderful and not even mentioned. This book is not much more useful than a map.

Summary: Where to go in the Connecticut Woods...
Comment: Q: What are we going to do today?
A: Let's go for a Hike
Q: Where?
A: Pull out "Nature Walks In Connecticut" so we can decide.
That's a common Saturday morning conversation at our home. This book has provided us with numerous outdoor plans to fill those Saturdays. Whether you're an experienced hiker or enthusiastic novice, "Nature Walks In Connecticut" will be a valued addition to your outdoors library. The suggested hikes are organized by region; western, middle and eastern Connecticut. Additionally, each hike is evaluated based on length, difficulty and little gems of nature you can expect to see (waterfalls, mountain vistas, shoreline views, etc.).
The authors have managed quite well to make this read like a guidebook rather than a geology text/roadmap. The trail descriptions include discourse on wildlife, flora, fauna and local history. Most of the suggested hikes are intentionally laid out as loop trails, so that you won't spend valuable time retracing your steps. I've found the maps, evaluations and descriptions to be fairly accurate, considering the changing face of nature. The maps are small, but useful for general purpose routefinding. I'd recommend backing them up with USGS topographic maps of the areas where you're planning to visit.
All in all, if you want to get outside in Connecticut but don't know where to go, "Nature Walks In Connecticut" will get you pointed in the right direction.
