Hop River State Park Trail

About Hop River State Park Trail Follow a former railroad line over twenty miles through the towns of Windham, Columbia, Coventry, Andover, Bolton, Vernon and Manchester on the Hop River State Park Trail. Like a pathway through time, this serpentine path winds through modern subdivisions and crosses roads, but mostly takes you along a remote, quiet and long unused path through the eastern Connecticut countryside.
