Oct 3 Farmington Canal North


I'm on the northern end of the greenway today. This section has a new coat of asphalt. It crossed many roads as well; like the one below.


I rode from Granby to Simsbury. There was no trace of the canal. Near Simsbury, the trail does run alongside the Farmington River for a short distance. It is my understanding the trail follows the route of the railroad which replaced the canal. The canal bed may no longer be discernible.
