Everyone is invited to an opening ceremony for the first section of the Squannacook River Rail Trail to be held Saturday, Sep 25, 2021 at 2 PM. This event will be to celebrate the opening of this beautiful new stone dust rail trail, and to thank the many people and groups that helped make it possible. We hope to unveil both the Townsend donated bricks and the granite pillar honoring donors at the ceremony. After some remarks, members of the Squannacook Greenways Board of Directors will lead an optional guided walk along the new rail trail.

Please use the parking area on Riverbank Terrace in Townsend, and save the rail trail parking area for handicapped use.
