Regional Trails and Tourist Information
Farmington
River Trail – Located for the most part
along an abandoned railroad right of way and with numerous views of the
Farmington River, this trail loops off of the Farmington Canal Heritage
Greenway from Farmington to Simsbury. When complete, it will offer a
16-mile path for walking, biking, and other activities.
Farmington Canal Heritage
Greenway – Running the length of the
state from New Haven to Suffield, this trail follows the path of the
19th century Farmington Canal. Converted to rail use until 1982, the
corridor was saved for public use by a coalition of citizens and
converted to a recreation path.
For more information and maps of the greenways in
our area, please visit the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection Greenways web site.
