The park is connects in the north to a three mile rail trail that if you head north connects to other greenways and single track giving the rider the potential for an epic ride. Trumbull is also a Freerider's paradise with a number of drops ranging from 2-20 feet, including the picnic tables and lovers leap. You will also find one of Connecticut's tallest rollers, the Green Monster, which is 30' high, as well as many other rollers strewn throughout the park. There are four marked trails: Blue, along the Pequonnock River; White, down the center of the valley; Yellow, about half way up the ridge; and Red, goes along the ridge and has the most serious climbs. You haven't ridden in CT until you have ridden Trumbull! Hunting is permitted here in the fall (except not on Sundays) so please where bright colors when riding from October 1st through December.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

The yellow trail is very challenging, not only because of the terrain but because it is not well marked in some places. It's marked adequately for the most part but there are a number of decision points with confusing markings that make it difficult to follow in the southbound direction. Overall a good mix and very challenging, with plenty of terrain variety.

There are so many trails and features at this park that it would be impossible to list them all. Best for riders who enjoy technical and challenging terrain rather than fast smooth singletrack. I personally use my 6 inch bike here because there are plenty of opportunities for some big drops. My suggestion is to spend a day exploring to find the areas you like best - there IS something for everyone here!
Similar Trail: I rode CT for years and nothing came close to this set of trails.
