Danbury CT to Canaan CT

We followed the Western New England Greenway north from Danbury CT to Bulls Bridge. Along the way, in following the trail, we turned onto River Road, which was unpaved, though fortunately pretty hardpacked. This was important due to the heavy rain that had fallen yesterday and all night.

After the long climb to Bulls Bridge, I somehow misread the map and turned us onto US Highway 7, which runs along the east side of Housatonic River. The Western New England Greenway route followed the west side up to Kent, where it returned to the east side and followed US Highway 7 for most of the rest of the way to North Canaan. This was probably a blessing in disguise since I’m guessing that the west side route might well be more unpaved road. In addition, with our taking the much faster US Highway 7 from Bulls Bridge to Kent (and beyond), we probably saved an hour or so of time. As it was, we didn’t arrive at our B&B until about 7:10, which wouldn’t be too much before sunset.

Going through New Milford, we found a really charming village that should be a good place to stay and wander around.
