But post–World War II housing developments of the Connecticut Blue-Blazed Trails, led to its drastic reduction.

Site-specific activities enjoyed along the route include hunting, fishing, horseback riding, bouldering and rock climbing (access).

Another Paugussett sachemdom village (Capage) existed on the Naugatuck River a few miles south at what is now Beacon Falls, Connecticut.

Ice can form on exposed ledges and summits, making hiking dangerous without special equipment.

Extensive flooding in ponds, puddles, and streams may occur in the late winter or early spring, overflowing into the trail and causing very muddy conditions.

Some parts of the trail follow forest roads which often contain ruts from ATVs and four-wheel drive vehicles.

The mainline trail heads are close to civilization (suburban homes, streets and highways).

Wearing bright orange clothing during the hunting season (Fall through December) is recommended.
