Walking/Hiking Trail Application - "FunFinder"

Glastonbury offers a website application, FunFinder, that allows community members to view hiking/walking trails on their PC, tablets, and smartphones. The platform includes trail facts, downloadable maps, the ability to create your own trail map or elevation profile, and a “find my location” tool to use when you’re out on a trail. Additionally, any parcels that are part of the Town's Poetry in the Parks program, or Parks Passport program, will be denoted as such. (Simply click on the parcel of interest and the program logo will appear in the pop-up information box if the parcel is part of either/both programs).
