Don’t let the snow keep you from finding your next trail! Mansfield’s Moss Sanctuary near University of Connecticut’s Storrs campus is a great choice for not only hiking, but also snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. Tift Pond, its historic dam, and the surrounding groves of hemlocks and white pine amid oak-hickory forest are the stars of the show. Visit in spring to see vernal pools and hear the spring peepers!

Sometimes you just need a scenic view. To watch the water ripple and the birds fly, to watch the branches and leaves sway, to see the sun rise and set, to put your mind at ease, to ponder, to help things make sense.
Let us help you find your favorite scenic trail on cttrailfinder.com!

Spend a lovely Tuesday on the Sue Grossman Still River Greenway Trail! The accessible paved trail follows the path of a discontinued New York, New Haven and Hartford railway. Enjoy nature and learn about history along the way! Explore by walking, riding, or even cross-country skiing, but whichever way you explore, be sure to take caution at road crossings.
