Salmon River Trail

Almost all of the trail is in Colchester, the parking lot and part of the Comstock Covered Bridge over the Salmon River are in East Hampton.

The Salmon River Trail is primarily used for hiking, backpacking, picnicking, and in the winter, snowshoeing.

The official Blue-Blazed Salmon River Trail passes through land located within the following municipalities, from south to north: Colchester and East Hampton, Connecticut.

The Blue-Blazed Salmon River Trail was created by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association.

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