East Granby’s Town Trails

November 29, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

East Granby’s Town Trails

There are some nice natural areas in East Granby – especially up on the Metacomet Ridgeline that cuts the town in two from south to north. So it’s no surprise that lots of trailed properties in town are sited on the hillsides and up to the ridge.

Cowles Park has sort of been overtaken by mountain bikers to a degree, but I do know that several of their trails were built and are maintained by local MTB enthusiasts so that makes sense. They’ve connected some trails up to the Metacomet Trail and by most accounts, these offer some of the best riding in the state. But we’re here to hike, not ride. Let’s get to it.
