Very nice bike path through Hammonasset State Beach Park. Nice and quiet in winter, very lively in summer thanks to the campsite.

The Hammasonett State Park is perfect for Mountainbiking trough the park, but also directly on the beach. There also exist a camp ground. So mountain biking in Winter is much better than in summer times, when it is crowded.

This park runs alongside the Willimantic River, providing scenic views of the water. On the opposite side, there are train tracks where you can occasionally observe interesting carts passing by.
