Farmington River Park
I believe this park is owned by the town of Bloomfield. As the name suggests, it borders the Farmington River and is between Tarrifville Gorge and Rainbow Reservoir. I have not been able to find any trail maps, but suggest looking at the OpenStreetMap listed below.

Map of Wintonbury Land Trust Properties
There are a couple of properties that I think may have some trails and may connect to each other, but I can't find any maps online. They are the Wintonbury Land Trust's Sinnott Farm property and the town's LaSallette Park property. I believe hikes on these properties have been offered on Trail Days in June.
