This section is shared by both the Tippecansett (Yellow Blaze) and the CFPA Pachaug (Blue Blaze) Trails. It begins with a climb up from Rt 165 to a split where the Tippecansett takes a high road and the Pachaug dips down to the pond and a more rocky path

The Pachaug is nearly 25 miles long and almost completely within CT's 26,000 acre Pachaug State Forest. The Tippecansett parallels the RI/CT border.

This is a hiking trail and there were some wet spots. Lots of short ups and downs. Not all ridable.

      I was happy to be out in the woods but can't say this is the most enjoyable trail I've ridden. A few hike a bike sections and things like that. Was fun once things got rolling but often interrupted by hike a bike sections.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
