The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail is a collaborative effort between the Farmington Valley Trails Council and the Farmington Canal Rail-to-Trail Association, dedicated to building, maintaining, and enhancing off-road multi-use trails throughout central Connecticut. With a mission to connect communities, the organization has made significant progress in completing the 56-mile Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, which extends from Massachusetts to New Haven, while also working on the 16.1-mile Farmington River Trail.
Supported by a vibrant membership and numerous volunteers, the organization funds trail construction, maintenance, and amenities through contributions and grants. Their commitment to community engagement is evident through events, programs like Adopt-a-Mile, and attendance at local markets, ensuring a clean and enjoyable trail experience for all users.
