#79 of 113 mountain bike trails in Connecticut
There used to be a race here and many of the trail markings are still there but a lot of washout has happened and you'll need to look for the newer connecting single track for the area

From Rt 8/44 intersection follow 44 into Winsted. Right after Town Hall onto Elm St. Straight up hill to STOP sign. Left on Hinsdale Ave. Right at STOP sign to The Gilbert School. Drive up hill to right of school and look for old dirt log road at top of hill.
I used to ride here in the 1990's almost every day, living on Mountain Avenue. Don't know how it is now but back then it was a fantastic place. Trails had a lot to offer for all levels of riding. Devil's jumpoff and Jumbo rock right off the trail had some great views too.
| ThankTrails are rough, but doable. Someone is cutting some new trails, which are descent. It would be nice if there was some way of blazing the trails.
