Norwalk River Valley Trail

The Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT) is a multi-use trail that is under construction. The plan for the trail is to run from Norwalk, Connecticut, to Danbury, Connecticut, stretching about 38 mi passing through Redding, Ridgefield and Wilton. The trail currently consists of a 0.7 mi section in Norwalk with the trailheads at Matthews Park and Union Street. The trail generally follows the Norwalk River.

The trail is controlled by each respective town it passes through. Funding is provided primarily by the state, along with some private donations.

Trail development
The idea for the Norwalk River Valley Trail aroused in 1995 to have a trail run along the Norwalk River. The trail will extend over 30 mi from Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk to Rogers Park in Danbury, passing through Wilton, Ridgefield, and Redding.
