Maromas

Maromas is the eastern and least developed section of Middletown.  It is bordered by the Connecticut River, where it makes up one of the largest contiguous forests on the western side of the river. It is comprised of a patchwork of both publicly and privately owned land, including many large tracts. The forested uplands of this area are home to a diverse community of predominantly hardwood trees as well as many plants and animals, some of which are considered rare. Rocky outcroppings, sometimes massive, of pegamite are characteristic of the area, which also includes flood plain, streams, riparian corridors (including Hubbard Brook), and wetlands, including vernal pools. The largest public section is the land recently granted to the city by Connecticut Valley Hospital, a total of 256 acres. The blue trail traverses the Maromas area in different locations, including the extensive trail network of Seven Falls and Bear Hill. The Nature Conservancy preserve, Spiderweed (157 acres), is off Rte. 154.
