This is at the begining of the trail.
The Quinnipiac River Linear Trail. This 2+ mile multi-use trail is predominantly paved with some blazed side trails. The two plus-mile paved walking, biking, and skating trail that runs from Community Lake through picturesque areas to the Quinnipiac River and then extends through a tunnel under the Wilbur Cross Parkway to the north parking in Yalesville with two bridges crossing the Q River. The trail passes by the Community Lake on your right and goes around the park on your left. A special feature of the park is the Labyrinth which will be on the right side of the trail. Labyrinths are a circular walking pattern used for meditation or reflection. Soon after, a stop by the Quinnipiac River provides benches for resting. The paved trail continues left through a tunnel underneath Route 15 and and continues along next to the river to a few more benches overlooking the river . In this area of the river, large dams were used to power the local silver industry, forming impounded lakes like Hanover Pond (in Meriden) and Community Lake. The dam at Community Lake broke in 1979, and the woods and meadow you see here in the former lakebed support many new wildlife.
