Middletown is one of Connecticut's largest municipalities in terms of its
area, natural resources, and publicly accessible open space areas. Its
42.32 square miles include a range of development from a highly urbanized
CBD through suburban settlements to rural prime farmland and completely
undeveloped open spaces. Natural resources range from an eight-mile
frontage on the Connecticut river on the east, along several smaller rivers
and streams to the trap-rock ridges on the west. A portion of Connecticut's
blue-blazed trails traverse Middletown and the City has proactively
purchased over 3,500 acres to preserve as public open space in the past
seven years at a cost of nearly six million dollars. The recreational
opportunities offered by the rivers, the ridges, the farmlands, and trails
are a major component of Middletown's fine quality of life.
