Summary:
A very scenic, cool, hilly single track ride that even has a couple stunts to play on. Starting on the
railroad bed you will find some moderately technical single track to the north and south. Crossing the river over the
cumstock bridge, the trail follows the river for a bit and you start to gain elevation (all ride-able!!), onward, you will
find one great slick-rock-ish climb - several cool descents with many airtime drops. A mello seesaw and 3 foot drop
for the free-riders. All in all a great place - Try not to get arrested by cops in bikini's like MOAS though!!

Summary:
Not a trail for beginers. If you are just starting out try Mansfield Hollow or Gay City. Both are fun rides.

Recommended Route:
If you want to miss that long first climb, start out at Day Pond and follow the fireroad / double track toward Arnolds Ravine (downhill). Of course this leaves you with a nice uphill treck for the end of your ride.

Summary:
This is a great trail if you are just getting to the point in your riding were you think you can handle it all and you need new experiences. The trails are steep in places, but offer a lot in diversity. Go with someone who knows the trails on a hot day and you can ride HARD, freeriding applicable in places but bring an extra lung for the extra bike weight, there are a couple places to take a little dip in the water.
It is worth the drive.

Summary:
I was introduced to this trail a year ago and I consider it one of the best in CT. This trail is not for someone who is out of shape or looking for an easy ride. You start with a short steep climb which promptly turns into a long technical climb. The trail is mainly double track, with some nasty single track that comes off it. This trail has some awesome views and gives the feeling of being in Vermont more than CT. Just be ready for some very rocky down and up hills, but the downs are what makes this trip worth it. If you are a conditioned rider and want a challenge take this trip, and as a bonus the trails are almost always empty.

Recommended Route:
Take 95 to exit 82 on rt. 85. Follow that all the way to route 11. Take route 11 till it meets up with route 2. You'll take the first exit 18 (about two miles) on to route 2. Make a left off the exit ramp past a gas station and follow road (route 16) for about ten minutes you'll drive down a long hill and at the bottom a parking lot and covered bridge will be on your left. Turn in and get ready. Ride your bike over the bridge and double back towards river and follow trail. This trail is basically a point and back trip.
