mm 10.4 Parking area off US 7 on the west side of the Housatonic River. Normally the northbound trail follows the highway across the river. When this picture was taken (Oct. 2009), the bridge ws under construction and there was a detour. The southbound trail goes south through a strip of woods, circles around a cornfield and returns to and crosses US 7 at mm 10.8. This is the south end of Section 2 and north end of Section 3. Walking along the highway here is actually far shorter. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
