What to expect on Skungamaug Fish and Game Club – Colchester Spur Trail junction loop from Grayville Falls Town Park
This route is designed for road cyclists, meaning you'll be utilizing connecting roads to access the Colchester Spur Trail, rather than riding directly through the rugged, singletrack trails of Grayville Falls Town Park itself. The Colchester Spur Trail, part of the historic Air Line State Park Trail, provides a generally flat and wide experience on a stone dust surface, offering views of the surrounding countryside and wooded areas. While the spur itself is easy, the overall loop's moderate difficulty comes from the connecting roads and the cumulative elevation gain. You'll experience a mix of surfaces, so a bike capable of handling both paved and well-maintained unpaved sections is ideal.
Planning your visit
You can start your ride near Grayville Falls Town Park, which is known for its natural beauty, including a long sloping waterfall and the Jeremy River. Parking is available at the park, making it a convenient starting point for this loop. Since the route includes sections of the Air Line State Park Trail, it's generally accessible during most seasons, but checking local conditions, especially after heavy rain, is always a good idea for the unpaved sections. This route is best enjoyed during daylight hours to fully appreciate the scenery.
