Whoever submitted those first pictures in 2006 is not thinking of the right trail. I'm not actually sure where in Torrington he's talking about, but I plan on looking for it. The last 2 pictures from 2010 are the correct photos. It's a nice trail, my GPS watch says it's actually 2.8 miles, but unless you're like me and picky about exact distances, what's a 10th of a mile? All flat and well maintained. Find a bathroom beforehand because there's really no where to go while you're on the trail. I typically do an out and back run on it for a total of 5.6 miles, although with 3 parking areas, you could shorten it if you wanted. From the Torrington parking lot it's approximately 1.1 miles to the next major intersection, Greenwoods Rd. From that road it's another 1.7 miles to the end. So if you park in the middle at Greenwoods Rd you can easily make this run shorter if you so chose to.

We started our ride from the south end on a Saturday (March 20th) at noon. We noticed that every parking lot along the trail was full and people were parking along the nearby streets. By 1:00 the lots were only half full. In any event it appears to be a very popular trail.

The trail is 2.9 miles long and paved the entire length making for a quick round trip.

I could not find this trail except for about 1/4 mile in Winsted where the sign said an old round house was off Willow st. Someone there said they decided not do any more of the trail than this small section.

"This trail is very short at present; visit it only if you happen to be nearby on other business.

The surface is nicely paved, and there is wheelchair access provided from all three trailheads.

The trail runs along the Mad River, between Lake Street and Elm Street."
