Trail Section Activity





SECTION DESCRIPTION
WILTON EAST
This off-road section, easily accessible from the Route 7 Commuter Lot, features a beautiful elevated, accessible boardwalk through wetlands, and stone dust surface for the remainder.
The success of substantial work by the Norwalk River Watershed Association and local corporate volunteers to combat invasives and restore natives can be seen along the areas of the Autumn Ridge parking lot.
Look out for the Rock Memorial Installation.
Pre-construction is underway north of Skunk Lane to eventually connect near the Cannondale train station.
WILTON WEST
Currently, the west side trail is mostly on or along roads, with paved or stone dust surface.
Access point for longer stretches of the west side trail is over the new pedestrian bridge from the Wilton Metro North train stop.
This bridge crosses over the tracks and leads right onto the NRVT at Merwin Meadows Park.
This section of trail is often utilized by the Wilton High School track teams, it continues north by the area of the Dana Dam take-down, and then continues north to Allen’s Meadows at Olmstead Hill Road.
There are beautiful views of the Norwalk River from this section and the remaining sections meander through old woodlands and wetlands with some boardwalks.
FRIENDLY REMINDER
Be kind, say hi! Greeting other trail users builds community. Dog owners are responsible for disposing of pet waste. Receptacles available at Gaylord Road, Autumn Ridge, Twin Oaks, and Chipmunk Lane.
