Took a run at Granby Land Trust (GLT's) Old Messenger Road Preserves (Katan-Ensor, Schlicht Family and Garmany Preserves).  Completed 5.4-miles, with some repetition necessary.  I will get back to further explore this area.  Additional information below is from the GLT website...

The Katan-Ensor Preserve is a mixture of open fields and woodlands with some beautiful natural features, ranging from interesting rock formations to a babbling brook that runs through the property.

The Schlicht Family Preserve a spectacular outlook to the east, Scarlet Tanager Outlook (named because Scarlet Tanagers nest here and are regularly seen by visitors).

The Garmany Preserve is located in the GLT’s Old Messenger Road Corridor and the property is divided by Old Creamery Hill Road. Old Messenger Road is a discontinued woodland road in North Granby, as is Old Creamery Hill Road.

The Garmany Preserve has natural and historical significance. Here, you will see evidence of a family – the Messengers - that settled on this mountain, known as Popatunuck Mountain,  at the time of the French and Indian War, and farmed this land for four generations before moving off of the mountain in the late 19th Century. Stone walls, the foundations of houses and barns, wells, and new growth forests all are evidence of the family's hard work and time spent here.
