Started at veterans memorial parking lot as per many reviewer’s suggestions. What a great ride down to Bristol! A few things to note—there are a lot of street crossings but most are not busy. There were only 2 where I had to wait and push the cross signal. There were no bathrooms on the trail but you could stop in barrington or Warren if needed. There is a bathroom at the end of the trail in Bristol. Bristol is a lovely town to stop and walk around. Colt park is a good option also, but I didn’t do the 4 mile extension. I just rode into the park and out. It was a great fall ride!
The trail map indicates there is parking at the crossing with Pine Hill Road, but it is not really designed as a parking area. There is room for one or two cars to pull off the road. There is a real parking lot with room for maybe a dozen cars at Sweetwater Avenue, the location of the Fawn Lake Conservation Area.
Map shows straight path but you have to take a 1/4 mile jog on the main road. Poor signage.
Excellent surface smooth. September ride perfect weather.. fairly strong headwind Gowing South. But manageable. . Excellent views of the bridges boats and bikers. Highly recommended in the area.
This trail has several wonderful, delightful, beautiful sections. But there are a few too many street crossings, and the signs could be better for those who are new.
I love the quiet and beauty of this trail.
However, last time I was there someone
drove on the path on a scooter. I didn’t know this was allowed. It wasn’t the type to help with mobility issues.
It was loud and disturbing to the dogs walking.
Once we figured out how to access the trail from the trailhead (hint.. it's tucked in right at the railroad tracks), we proceeded on to enjoy the beauty of this trail. As a first timer to the Cape, this trail showed me all I had hoped to see and experience. From woods, to murals, to water features, the rock beach and then finally the ferry, I was in awe the entire ride. You will find some tree root areas to be aware of and it's a busy path in many places but so worth it.
Although not as scenic as I had hoped it would be, it’s a nice enough trail. It can be busy with walker, runners and bicyclists of all ages. Many places that cross over roads but drivers seem to adhere to signs to watch for pedestrian and bike traffic. Trail is well marked as far as signage goes. There is one section that goes on a regular road for a short time but there is a bike lane and good signage to follow. Trail is largely shaded by tree canopies.
We rode from the parking lot at Quidnick St. in West Warwick to the abrupt end of the trail in Summit (Coventry), about 20 mi round trip. Pavement in very good shape. Trail is shaded for much of the way making for a pleasant ride. Lots of views of ponds, lakes, reservoirs and streams. Significant uphill climb to the end of the trail in Coventry but a screaming downhill for much of the way back. We plan to return in the fall, foliage will doubtless be stunning. Trail is paved throughout, and the western part of the trail is shared with equestrians, although sadly we did not see any.
My 6 and 9 year old grandsons rode the 2.5 round trip with maybe 100 feet of walking their 20” mt bikes over rough spots and a couple of logs. The trail is 95% shaded. We parked on Breck Rd and crossed Thacher Rd to the trailhead. Lafayette Rd has a large circle at its end by Pope’s Pond that you clearly can park at.
This rider was going Northeast from Willimantic towards Hampton NOT Southwest from Willimantic to East Hampton. Having ridden both stretches I can say his description is completely wrong about the gorgeous and open riding Southeastern route and not completely wrong but somewhat overly harsh about his route which can get iffy for stretches.
