Potter Meadow in Columbia, Connecticut, was given to Joshua’s Trust by Whitehall Properties in 1988. This 34-acre land trust preserve lies entirely within the floodplain of the Willimantic and Ten Mile Rivers. Potter Meadow was owned by the Buckinghams, who were conservators to Uncas, father of Joshua. Starting in the 1830s, the Potter family used it as pastureland. Today, as a nature preserve, it provides excellent wetland and riparian habitat that lends itself to wildlife observation and birding. Potter Meadow sits near the intersection of several other Connecticut hiking trails/greenways

Szegda Farm has about 1.8 miles of trail broken into two sections. The original trails on the property are the “Upper Trails” a .35 mile purple blazed “Habitat Loop,” and a yellow blazed “Ridgetop Trail.” The purple loop begins and ends at the edge of the small dirt lot near 43 Szegda Rd. Mostly level, the trail skirts wetlands and private property. The backside of the loop crosses a seasonal stream and connects to the yellow trail. A brief ascent brings the trail to a mossy rock ridge outcrop before looping back through a hemlock grove. This section is easy and can be hiked in less than 20

There are many ledges and rocky outcrops. Two-plus miles of trail pass by dams and old mill sites before connecting to the Town of Columbia Recreational Area. Directions
