Caption: Avon’s Farmington Canal Trail
Additional Description: This trail in Avon could be the best in Connecticut for experiencing the size of the Farmington Canal. Most trails follow the towpath next to the canal, so you see the canal, but from the viewpoint of the tow animal. This trail, which has been cleared of trees, puts you in the canal. Walking in the middle of the canal you can experience it’s size. The canal was built wide enough for 2 boats to pass each other. When you walk at 4 mph, you will be traveling at the speed of a canal boat.
