U.S. Bicycle Route 7 (Connecticut)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The U.S. Bicycle Route 7 (USBR 7) is a super nice, north-south bike trail that follows the Western New England Greenway through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. This section goes through typical rural, rolling, green Connecticut countryside. It is a great road with gorgeous views.

Lake McDougall

Highlight • Lake

Lake McDougall is a tiny, pond-like reservoir within Putnam Memorial State Park. This pool of water is right next to the memorial monument after you bike by the guard houses at the park entrance. It's a good spot to step off the bike and take a break before getting back to pedaling.
