From Bridgeport to Newtown the trail is a 13.5 mile combination of paved and gravel trail with some short road biking between scenes.
Don’t stop due to any gravel! Continue through and get to the next section with new scenes and opportunities!
As long as it’s not private property, go down to the stream – take in the sun rays, the moss lighting up beneath them, the water flowing around the rocks and don’t forget to listen for the frogs mating or the simple sounds of the water rippling!
There are also historic references along the way! This is an old post office and old railroad depot.
The trail takes you through Wolfe park to end in Monroe/Newtown line.
I simply turned around and went back the way I came and returned to a lovely Old Mine Park in Trumbull. Of course you could continue back to Bridgeport.
It’s spring! I pretty much stay on my bike for this season! This is certainly another favorite cycling trail for me – 13.5 mile Pequonnock Trail!
Time it right to end around golden hour in Old Mine Park in Trumbull and you too may call it a perfect day!
Below is a link to the Farmington River Trail blog which may be number 1 for me!
