Middlebury Greenway
Junction of Routes 64 and 63 to Quassy Amusement ParkTrail Length: 4.4 miles
This asphalt path winds 4.4 miles through Middlebury. State Route 64 parallels the greenway for its entire length, but this won't lessen your enjoyment. The trail follows the contours of the land, making it hillier than a typical rail trail. If you're taking the trail out and back, travel east to west for an easier downhill return. Parking on the east end is also more convenient. The initial stretch is an in-town trail. Farther west you'll come upon two small landscaped parks. Alternating between woods and residential areas, the trail continues 2 miles to Meadowview Park. Approaching the trail's west end, you'll overlook Lake Quassapaug and its sandy beach, and pass Quassy Amusement Park. The trail ends at an access road leading to a Little League baseball field.
