Description:
As of January 2012 the Quinebaug River Trail has two segments. The southern segment follows the course of the Quinebaug River in Danielson, beginning at the intersection of Palmer Street and Prospect Avenue, crossing a bridge over Fivemile Pond then heading south along the east bank of the river to Gloria Avenue. The northern segment runs between the Holiday Inn just west of the Attawaugan Crossing/Ballouville Exit (# 94) off I-395 and Park Road in Putnam, ending just after it crosses under the railroad tracks. The segment parallels Tracy and Park roads. You can continue north into Putnam and connect with the Putnam River Trail.

Eventually the Quinebaug River Trail will become part of the East Coast Greenway, stretching from Florida to Maine.

Quinebaug River Trail (Southern section Danileson)
By jroyjr in July, 2010
I rode this trail south of Danielson in August 2009. The pavement was in good shape and the scenery was very nice. There is no traffic once you get out of the town center. Much of the paved trail south of the baseball fields is actually on the old Connecticut Company’s (trolley) private right of way.
