Jericho Trail, Protected hiking trail in Watertown, Connecticut, US.
The Jericho Trail extends 3.4 miles through Mattatuck State Forest, following Jericho Brook and leading to elevated viewpoints of the Naugatuck River Valley.
The trail corridor includes segments where the 19th-century wanderer known as the Leatherman traveled during his circular journeys between Connecticut and New York.
The Connecticut Forest and Park Association maintains this Blue-Blazed trail system, which represents the state's commitment to preserving natural recreational spaces.
Visitors can access the trail from the southern parking area on Echo Lake Road, with connections to the Mattatuck Trail at the northern terminus.
The path leads to Crane's Lookout at 810 feet elevation, where white stone cliffs and forest vistas create a distinct Connecticut landscape.
