Connecticut Walk Books
The Connecticut Walk Book West and The Connecticut Walk Book East provide a comprehensive guide to hiking throughout the state. Published by the Connecticut Forest & Park Association and edited by our own Ann Colson, the two volumes are the 19th edition of the guidebook that was first released more than 75 years ago. Both volumes include the Metacomet and Mattabesett Trails of Central Connecticut. Both volumes also include detailed two-color topographic maps that are crisp, clear, and easy to read. Complete trail descriptions accompany the maps.
The CT Walk Book West won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award. Here is what has been said about it:
"No doubt about it. The Connecticut Walk Book is among the top tier of long-standing, tried-and-true guidebooks. With map accuracy assured by global positioning, and trail descriptions backed-up by the work of an army of volunteers, this is one dependable book. Guidebooks aren't any more comprehensive and useful than this."
