Swoops and Loops Trailhead

​

This trailhead provides an information kiosk and a small roadside parking area. The 3.5-mile trail network here is novice and kid-friendly, though intermediate-enjoyable with single and double-track terrain: flat and gently undulating through the woods, bridges and boardwalks, switchbacks, dirt rollers and one big hill to challenge all skill levels.  This gem that was built specifically for the beginner/never-ever rider to hone their skills.  The reality is, this fun and fast loop will create challenges for the most experienced riders as you build speed and endurance. This trail can be high-traffic, so we ask that you please be courteous to everyone on this popular little trail.

 

Additionally, this parking area is a back side access point to the Weathersfield Town Forest which has an excellent double track trail-running loop with plans for future MTB trails. Access through the gate just south-east of the state park entrance before the interstate bridge.
