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.

Crescent Beach in Connecticut is a picturesque stretch of sandy beach in a crescent shape. This small beach is a great spot for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking. This beach is well-maintained and has restrooms, showers, and lifeguards during peak seasons.

For cyclists crossing the Mystic River Bascule Bridge, the view is nothing short of captivating. From this vantage point, you're treated to a picturesque scene of the serene Mystic River below. As you pedal across, you can admire the rhythmic motion of boats gliding through the water and the charming waterfront architecture lining the riverbanks. The bridge itself, with its impressive mechanical design, adds to the allure of the experience, providing cyclists with both a visual feast and a sense of the area's industrial heritage.

Crescent Beach is a lovely sandy beach right next to the road. With such a short distance from the street, it makes a great spot to jump off the bike and take a break on your ride.

There are four parcels of beachfront land set aside here for the private community of Groton Long Point. However, you can still enjoy the great views over the water as you pedal past.

This pond comes in at just a hair under 30 acres, and is mostly surrounded by houses — but the banks of the southwestern shore are still forested, and this remains a nice stopover on your ride. You might also spot the shore dock that connects to a U.S. Navy sonar laboratory, which is situated in the very deepest part of the lake.

From here you can take the Colchester Spur Trail. The area surrounding the trail played a small but fascinating role in the American Revolution. Look for markers mentioning skirmish sites and troop movements.

Ride along South Shore Avenue and take in the great views from the beach all the way to Fisher Island in the distance.
