East Bay Bike Path

Relaxing Day

May, 2020 by nancysanterre

Really like this trail. It’s well maintained, views are great. Love ending the ride with a picnic lunch at Colt State Park overlooking the ocean.

Air Line State Park Trail

Section closed

May, 2020 by carrie.vezina

Section of the trail at Bull Hill Road is closed as well as the parking lot at this location. No information regarding why this section is closed or for how long. Would be nice if a brief sign could be posted to let users know if work is being done and how long the closure is projected to be. A lot of disappointed people driving and biking here; only to be turned around.

Quinebaug Valley Rail Trail

Horseback

May, 2020 by rheado

Beautiful day. Yes I got off a few times to kick the poop into the woods since I don’t have a horsey bag. But there were plenty of places either rock stump or bench to mount up from. Met lots of people enjoying the day hiking or fishing. Glad i found and can’t wait to be back again

Quinebaug Valley Rail Trail

A little confusing

May, 2020 by diana.reiman

the parking lot appears to divide the trail in half, but the section directly connected to the parking lot is not a good bike trail. Most of it is covered in decomposing rail ties and it makes for an advanced but short ride before the trail ends abruptly. The way to go is on the other side of the street from the parking lot. Its a nice flat trail most of the way. The trail has a range of materials: grassy, sand, packed dirt and large crushed stone. I would recommend for a child who has a little experience on trails, not a true beginner.

Blackstone River Greenway

how the hell is this considered a biking trail?!?

May, 2020 by atherien

Extremely narrow, muddy, full of roots and ups and downs. This would be hard to navigate with hiking boots, let alone a bike... ridiculous.

Air Line State Park Trail

Airline trail in Thompson CT

Trail was awesome! Well maintained and nice views! Mainly flat except for hills at the road crossings. My family and I will definitely ride it again!

Air Line State Park Trail

Airline Trail - Pomfret Center to Putnum

April, 2020 by CW4

Just to keep trail riders informed, there is trail construction work ongoing from the Route 169 crossing in Pomfret to the Qinnebaug River in Putnam. Give it two seasons of construction and this 3 miles section should be done. IT includes 5 road crossings or bridges. That will be the last of the hard work on the Airline Trail.

Still needed is finishing the surface from Station Road in Hampton to South Brook Road at the Chaplin Townline (3.5 miles) and the 1/4 mile section from under Route 66 to the completed section of the Portland portion of the Airline Trail. Lastly, Portland has plans to begin design of the trail section from Camp Ingersol to Route 66.

Blackstone River Greenway

Enjoyable

April, 2020 by nancysanterre

I love this trail. Few bumpy spots due to tree roots but overall a great trail with great scenery.

Vernon Rails-to-Trails (Hop River State Park Rockville Spur)

Of many of the trails in CT, the Vernon trails offer a smooth and wide path, several side trails, benches, bridges, side street markings, plenty of parking space, and incredible scenery.
