Blue Blazes

The blue blazed hiking trails in Connecticut are some of the best trails. They are maintained by the wonderful people and volunteers who make up the Connecticut Forest and Park Association. Their mission is to “connect people to the land in order to protect forests, parks & the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails in Connecticut for future generations.” Be sure to check out the CFPA website, look for the interactive map which includes coordinates and parking for all the blue blazed trails, and if you feel so inclined, give them a donation. These posts document TUIB’s journeys to complete all of the blue blazed trails. They are sorted alphabetically.
