Ridgefield Rail Trail

The trail can be used for walking, jogging, and cross-country skiing, and it is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week throughout the year.

[example needed] The trail's motto, which is displayed at the Ridgefield Trailhead is, "Take only photographs, leave only footprints, keep only memories".

It included more mills, stores, a hotel, a machinery factory, a noted mineral quarry, a post office, and a school, which still stands.

The Ridgefield Rail Trail was built by Connecticut Light and Power and opened December 11, 2000.

The project was spearheaded by First Selectman Rudy Marconi as an enhancement to open space and as the town's first ever off-road trail.
