Glastonbury Bicycle Master Plan: Route Description
Buckingham Park along Hebron Avenue to Harvest Lane
This existing multi-use path runs parallel to Hebron Avenue.
Harvest Lane to Bell Street
This on-road section, while not ideal, provides linkage to the start of the Smith Trail off Bell Street. This location provides a small parking spot and marks the beginning of this lovely scenic trail through bogs and old cedar forest.
Bell Street to Smith Middle School
A little over 1 mile the Smith School Greenway is great for all users (families on bikes, walkers, joggers) and is wheelchair friendly.
Smith School to Salmon Brook Park
This on-road section takes the rider through quiet industrial park roads with shoulder access for cyclists.
Salmon Brook Park to Old Trail Road
This planned section of trail will follow the sewer easement from Winding Brook Drive to House St.
Old Trail Road to House Street
This on-road section provides access under Route 2 via House Street. The underpass is very narrow, so caution is advised.
House Street to Riverfront Park
This on-road section provides a route past the Glastonbury Community Center and to the Riverfront Park paths.
Riverfront Park to Main Street
This trail is off-road with a crushed stone surface. It winds past the athletic fields to Main Street.
Main Street to Route 17 intersection and Connecticut Audubon Center
This on-road section takes you past gracious New England homes hundreds of years old. The widened shoulder provides safe passage in most sections.
Connecticut Audubon Center to Red Hill Drive
This off-road section takes you past the Audubon Center to Earle Park and near the Connecticut River.
Red Hill Drive to South Main Street
South Main Street to Water Street
This section takes the rider past the old churches and historic libraries of South Glastonbury.
Water Street to Ferry Landing
This section takes the rider past beautiful tobacco barns and farmland. Stop along the way to pick up fresh produce at the many farm stands. The end of the journey is Ferry Landing Park and the oldest operational ferry in the U.S. When the ferry is operational in the summer and fall, cross the river to many trails in the Great Meadows Conservation area in Rocky Hill and Wethersfield.
