In 2025, the CT Trail Census program collected trail use data using infrared counters at 27 different trail sites around Connecticut, and here's what we found! Across all the sites where counts were measured during the whole year, trails were used an average of 274 times per day. Find out about estimated trail use by month, day of the week, and hour of the day, plus how trail use was affected by weather, and how this year compared to previous years!

Take it from us, your next #TrailsTuesday would be well spent at Tyler Mill Preserve in Wallingford! Almost 15 miles of trails lead through deciduous and hemlock forest, agricultural fields, swamp and wetland areas, along traprock ridges, and even up to Moss Rock which offers a scenic view of the landscape including New Haven skyline.

It's a beautiful morning to walk or ride on Riverfront Recapture's Riverside Park Wooded Trail system!What’s on your summer bucket list? Consider our proposal to add Riverside Park Wooded Trail in Hartford. It starts in historic Victorian-era Riverside Park and continues in a 4.6-mile forested loop. Located in the heart of CT’s capital city, it is also great for serene river views and even birdwatching. Plus, it comes with Riverside Park amenities such as a boat launch, picnic tables, a sand volleyball court, cricket and football fields, a playground, and a connection straight to the Hartford Riverwalk to keep the adventure going for miles. Make visiting this trail system a summer goal and thank us later!
