This multi-use "greenway" consists of 5.7 miles of trail along an abandoned railway (Hartford, Providence and Fishkill RR) from the Vernon/Bolton town line. From Bolton, the railway has been re-graded 15 more miles to Willimantic and is identified as a Connecticut State trail named the "Hop River Linear Park Trail".
