FAMILY RIDES
Cycling is a great family activity, but it can be difficult to travel the roads with the young ones. So we compiled some links to area trails so that you can ride as a unit, off the beaten path. If you know of other areas of interest, please let us know.

Search and find detailed information on over 250 bike routes, most of which are located entirely in Connecticut.  Several Massachusetts rides are included while other rides, though originating in Connecticut, visit the adjoining states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts or New York.  Ride lengths range from 25-100 miles; most are 30-40 miles.

Ridgefield Rail Trail
A trail along the Still River in Brookfield and Danbury is supposed to be constructed within the next year or two. Apparently, this may eventually hook up with the Putnam Trailway, see below.
