The Air Line State Park Trail in Connecticut is a rail trail and linear state park that is a part of the East Coast Greenway. There are several sections including: South (25 miles from East Hampton to Windham), North (21 miles from Windham to Putnam), Thompson addition (6.6 miles from Thompson to the Massachusetts state line), and an additional 3.6-mile spur to Colchester. Recognized as a national recreation trail by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 2002, it offers scenic routes for hiking and biking. This southern section of the trail near East Hampton is a gravel crushed trail that is great to ride on its own, or to access singeltrack in the nearby Salmon River Forest.

Right across from the Cypress Cemetery, a historic spot in its own right, is the original location of Yale College. There is a large stone with a plaque and an informational sign marking the spot.

On the other side of the road, opposite to the lawn, are some big old, historic houses right on the water. This is a beautiful spot to ride past as you explore the area.
