The entrance is at a trustees of reservations parking area off the paved road Route 32.


a 215-mile long-distance hiking trail from Long Island Sound in CT to the MA/NH border Be aware there are 2 major trail breaks at river crossings. Please go to the New England Trail webpage for instructions on how to manage these obstacles and updates to trail closures and coronavirus updates.

There's just one gap that can be navigated easily.


From the Mass border, the trail continues on as the old M-M Trail to the top of Mt Monadnock, then down the other side via the M-S Greenway and continuing for another 50 miles.

Then it connects with the SRK Greenway

then there is a gap (the following map used a mix of trails and roads referred to as the "ad hoc route"),

then the Appalachian Trail into the White Mountains (the most physically challenging part)

getting off at Zealand Trail

to connect with the Cohos Trail all the way to the border and the origin of the Connecticut River.

Here's the map
