Trumbull
Connecticut is blessed with the beautiful Pequonnock River
Valley State Park. Commonly referred to as simply "Trumbull"
to the many mountain bikers who ride there, this green belt follows
the Pequonnock River north and south.
On
the west side of the park there is an abandoned railroad grade
that serves as a level trail about three miles in length. The
east side of the park has a wide variety of terrain and has been
a haven for mountain bikers and hikers with its rocky stream beds,
tough climbs and numerous rock drops.
A
colorful history of now long gone places such as an amusement
park, a railroad ice house, a papermill and even a tungsten mine
make it an interesting adventure with or without a bike!
