Thirty eight scenic miles, from the Long Island Sound along the Norwalk River valley to the rolling hills of Danbury.
The proposed Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT) will provide a 38 mile route (including loops) for cyclists, hikers, and walkers from Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, Connecticut, north to Danbury, Connecticut. NRVT will connect to rail stations, schools and offices, offering clean, green transportation as well as recreational opportunities.
Currently, work is underway on the Wilton Center Loop, which will run on the west side through Wilton Center, and on the east side from Orem's Diner up to Cannondale, primarily following DOT land reserved for the Super 7 project. We hope to have this completed sometime during 2013. Please go to The Wilton Center Loop link on the left menu for more information and donation/volunteer opportunities.
In 2012,Danbury, Ridgefield, Redding, Wilton and Norwalk completed a study effort to define environmentally sensitive routing solutions for a shared use trail for recreation and transportation within the five communities along the Norwalk River corridor.
