CT Trail Symposium
2026 Trail Symposium will be on October 2 in New Haven. More details soon.
Why Trails?
Connecticut’s bounty of natural and physical amenities - greenways, multi-use paths, parks, and forested area are some of the state’s greatest assets for encouraging physical activity. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) estimates that there are over 2,000 miles of multi-use trails within CT State Parks and Forests alone (and likely over 3,000 miles including those not in the park system).
Get out. Be active. Stay healthy!
There are Three Programs
Connecticut Trail Census
The Connecticut Trail Census consists of trail use counts recorded by infrared pedestrian counters, trail user intercept surveys administered by trained volunteers, and public education programs.
Connecticut Trail Finder
The Connecticut Trail Finder website is Connecticut's go-to resource for discovering trails across the state. All trail postings are manager-approved ensuring that trail information is accurate and up-to-date.

Active Living (PATHS)
People Active on Trails for Health and Sustainability (PATHS) is a team at UConn committed to understanding and promoting the benefits of trails and natural resources for health, community & economic development.

Put this one in your pocket for after the rainstorms and flood watches clear: spend time with the Connecticut River by way of the Rocky Hill Greenway! This 6.5-mile walking and biking route extends from the Cromwell border at the south end to Matteson Avenue at the north end. It also travels through four Rocky Hill parks: Dividend Pond Trails, Bulkley Park, Surwilo Park, and Quarry Park. Sections in between parks are mainly on-road, so take caution and watch for vehicles.
