Route and access notes

The Connecticut portion of the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, linking New Haven with Suffield through a mostly paved greenway and necessary on-road gap connections.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 88.2 km, matching the approximately 54-mile Connecticut corridor. It is not the entire 81–84-mile multi-state trail: the page is explicitly scoped to Connecticut, where Plainville remains the final off-road gap.

Access and source limitations

Some connections use public roads and major-road crossings; this is not a fully protected path. Connecticut State Park sections are generally open sunrise to sunset. Plainville construction is scheduled through May 2027 and road or shoulder controls may change locally.
