Peter Huoppi and Steve Fagin have detailed some great hiking destinations above.

And here, Rick Koster and Kristina Dorsey offer sugestions of other pleasant places to go for a walk while you pracitce your social distancing.

The ideas range from the Niantic Bay Boardwalk to Elm Grove Cemetery to Fort Trumbull State Park, so plenty of variety for you to choose from.

DEEP Marine Headquarters, 333 Ferry Road, Old Lyme

This isn’t a big people-magnet, and it’s a wonderful spot. It’s along the banks of the Connecticut River. You can trod along the shore or you can sit at picnic tables and just gaze out at the water.

There is also a long wooden walkway that folks fish from. It leads to an elevated platform that provides an ideal bird-watching perch. — Kristina Dorsey

Connecticut College, 270 Mohegan Ave., New London

When I first visited Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where I went to school, I thought, “This is beautiful!” Then we moved up here and saw New England colleges and I realize that Baylor looked good in my context just because they mowed the yard.

Now, with the students gone from Conn, you can wander the lush grounds with gorgeous architecture and water views and pretend you’re attending a lecture from a National Book Award finalist or taking a class in “How to Pronounce Bowdoin and Brandeis.”

But remember to pick up your dog’s poop on these walks, Walter Mitty. — Rick Koster

Elm Grove Cemetery, 197 Greenmanville Ave., Mystic

Not only is this sprawling, peaceful resting spot(s) full of lovely trees and featuring stunning visuals of the Mystic River and Mystic Seaport, the circuitous and well-kept roads and paths provide plenty of meandering routes that equal a nice, calming exercise jog or walk.

Bonus: the 32-foot granite arch that welcomes you looks like something Napoleon would march under.

More bonus: bestselling crime novelist Ace Atkins set a climactic gun battle for one of his Spenser novels in Elm Grove, so you don’t have to worry about any bad guys lurking. They’re, ah, dead. — Rick Koster

Fort Trumbull State Park, 90 Walbach St., New London

As we live in NL, my wife Eileen and often visit this majestic fort, with its precision landscaping, hilltop ramparts — yes! The precise kind we all watch o’er in “The Star Spangled Banner!” — a boardwalk, the sightlight of the Thames River intermingling with Long Island Sound ...

Of course, if you’re walking, running or on a bike, you have to go through the Fort Trumbull neighborhood, which has been growing weeds since 2005 and Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469.

But even those empty blocks of streets offer space for contemplation of what was and will apparently never be. — Rick Koster

Niantic Bay Boardwalk This 1.1-mile-long walkway in downtown Niantic gives you a breathtaking view of Niantic Bay, as it winds its way from Cini Park to Hole-in-the-Wall Beach. You’ll just have to give anyone walking in front of or behind you enough “social distancing” space.

You can park at Cini Park, located just on the East Lyme side of the Niantic River bridge, or in the parking lot off Baptist Lane. — Kristina Dorsey
