Welcome! Hi, I’m Matt the operator for exploreCT building this site and community to be your complete guide for all of Connecticut’s outdoor explorations.
A bit of lore recap. Back in 2015, as a fun project to push myself a bit I decided to hike all of Joshua’s Trust’s trails and make movies about them. I started making lists, finding trail and parking information (back when Google Maps wasn’t as good), pulling together history and anything interesting I could find. I realized hiking and aggregating all this information was fun and would be useful for others so I started to publish it online. Here we are many years and hundreds of hikes and paddles later, a quarter of the way through exploring everything in Connecticut.
I’d love to hear from you, introduce yourself to the community!
