Bigelow Hollow State Park

Rough woods roads and singletrack, much of it very technical. Remote by Connecticut standards; map skills would be handy

Reviewed by: Peter , from Woodstock

Summary:
I love this place. Of all the places i have been to this is my favorite. It has some good downhill sections which may be a little complicated and some paths to cross that could get your feet wet. It all adds to the excitement. There are some rather steep uphill areas but you are greatly rewarded when you have to go back down again. I wouldn't recomend going here without a map. There are many areas that can take you off the map and even into marshy muddy regions. You should stay clear from these. This trail is lots of fun but don't go without expecting not to see some puddles. Theyre there all the time. Have fun.

Recommended Route:
blue, white, orange
