This is a prominent "blue-blazed trail" managed by the Connecticut Forest & Parks Association (CFPA). The following description is courtesy of the CFPA "Connecticut Walk Book". It runs 50 miles N-S from the Cobalt section of East Hampton, CT to West Stafford, CT just shy of the Massachusetts border. The trail traverses the Meshomasic and Shenipsit State Forests primarily on woodland paths and also connects to trail systems in Gay City State Park in Hebron, Case Mountain Recreation Area in Manchester, and Valley Falls Park in Vernon.
