Moosup Valley State Park Trail

The Moosup Valley State Park Trail extends 5.8 miles from Main Street in Moosup village to the Rhode Island border through woodlands and river crossings.

The trail occupies the former New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad line, which operated from 1898 until its closure in 1968 before becoming a state park in 1987.

The trail forms an essential section of the East Coast Greenway, connecting with the Quinebaug River Trail and Air Line Trail between Hartford and Providence.

Multiple parking areas are available along the trail, including locations at Main Street in Moosup, Industrial Park Road, Sterling Road, and Spring Lake Road.

The trail surface combines dirt, grass, sand, gravel, and old railroad ballast, crossing the Moosup River with two restored trestle bridges along the route.
