excellent question...

I have no idea, I'm just from there and it's the pride talkin'

I would assume no, because land is so developed, probably only good for hiking (which was my experience.) But I imagine if you hit up Granby area and further north it becomes lovely for trails. Sorry, I'm useless. But........

GO SIMSBURY!!!! Woot!
