Great section of the much longer East Coast Greenway.

New section of the Canal. 11.17.18🍁The new section of Cheshire trail is great. We decide to visit today, after the first snow-day. The mile-long section goes  from West Main Street to Cornwall Avenue to the Main Street. 🌲Along with foliage and a paved walking path, the trail  include a two-stall bathroom facility, a 12-car parking lot, a bike repair station with tools, and a water fountain. There is also  benches and small picnic tables scattered around the area. 🌲The new section also include three butterfly gardens. One of the gardens is dedicated to Michaela Petit, who was killed in the 2007 home invasion. 🌲Several local nonprofits and businesses, predominately the Cheshire West Community Butterfly Gardens organization, have come together to adopt the space. Volunteers will help maintain it in future years. 🍁

It’s a large stretch of paved and gravel walkway with a large variety of scenery. It also links up with W Main st which brings a large variety of places you can go for food and smaller needs. In total along Cheshire’s stretch, there are 4 parking lots and 3 bathrooms. There are lots of benches but it’s not to the point where it feels overbearing.

Well maintained mostly paved trail that meandered next to or near the Farmington River. We brought our bikes, and on our crisp fall day the trail itself was super nice. All areas that crossed roads had good signage with crosswalks and some alert signals. Many people were out with strollers and runners. Lots of side areas with bench seats to stop at, and enjoy the sound of the water passing by

We love the trail. Try to get a walk/run in everyday weather permitting. And if you're quite you might see some wildlife.

The canal trail is a clean paved bike path thats well maintained and always in use by a lot of people. I have jogged there many times. Lots of tree cover and there are public restrooms. The path goes right by an industrial plant or two, which kind of goes against the whole "being in nature" concept. But besides that, a nice little getaway for stretching one's legs, solo or with a friend.

Great for biking without cars. You can hike from 1 to 90 miles. Parking and bathrooms at intervals. Bring insect repellent seasonally. Hawks, blackbirds, ducks, turtles, and lots of people on weekends. It is about 10 feet wide in most places and paved.

The part that we walked was all paved. The person I was walking with said the whole trail was paved from beginning to end. Really nice well kept up trail.
