SECTION DESCRIPTION
The most urban of all Norwalk River Valley Trail sections, the NRVT Norwalk is a 5.6 mile hard surface linear park.
Enjoy the beauty and activity of Long Island Sound at Calf Pasture Beach.
Continue on-road via bike lanes and shared roadway to the Maritime Center along the streets of Norwalk.
From the Aquarium, an off-road 10-foot-wide trail continues to Oyster Shell Park, through Mathews Park and then on to Union Park.
From Union Park, a new off-road trail returns to the riverside and runs almost 2 miles to Deering Pond at Broad Street.
Enjoy an easy stroll or bike ride with water views, historic mansions, and many informative signs about flora and fauna as well as the local history.
