Welcome to the Metacomet Trail if you are northbound, and no regrets for southbound hikers as there is great hiking ahead. The Metacomet was in the very first Connecticut Walk Book published in 1937 and it has grown steadily over the years. See the links for the history of sachem Metacom and history of the basalt traprock that make this trail unique.
