General Information
The Rails to Trails project re-purposes old railroads to multi-use trails.  The leveled, stone-dust surface is popular for walking, biking, scenic views, and snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in the winter.

The Vernon section of this trail is maintained in partnership with the Vernon Greenways Volunteers.

The Hop River Linear Park Extension is a multi-use greenway consisting of 5.10 miles of trail along an abandoned railway from the Vernon/Manchester town line to the Vernon/Bolton town line.  

In 2017 the Hop River portion of the trail was named by the CT Trail Census as one of the top three most popular multi-use trails in the state.

The Rockville Spur consists of 4.1 miles of trail that splits from the Hop River Linear Park trail at Warren Ave and heads towards downtown Rockville.  This trail includes a footbridge over the Tankerhoosen River.
