Description

Added by Kevin Talley

A nice paved, pet friendly, walking/Running and Bike trail that is nestled between the Connecticut river and the Windsor Locks Canal

The 4.5-mile Windsor Locks Canal Trail parallels the Connecticut River and the Windsor Locks Canal in the towns of Windsor Locks and Suffield. The trail begins at Bridge Street (Route 140) in Windsor Locks and proceeds in a northerly direction along the Connecticut River until its terminus at Canal Road. Constructed on the towpath for the old canal, this trail offers numerous scenic views of the Connecticut River and the Windsor Locks Canal. At the northern end of this trail, a project is in progress to provide access across the Connecticut River via the Route 190 bridge, terminating at Pearl Street.
