Roadside parking along Bulls Bridge Road. Formerly the trail came in from the left, went along Bulls Bridge Road to the junction of Schagiticoke Road. The new trail goes over a hill to the junction. The former AT route is now a blue-blazed route which meets the AT at MM 7.9 Alternatively the road may be followed over the rise in picture to meet AT at MM 7.4. Update (2013): Because of overuse of the sort seen in this photo, roadside parking is prohibited along Bulls Bridge Road from US 7 to the junction with Schaghticoke Road. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu

ed. 1/12/08 - This is no longer on the AT but on a blue-blazed access trail.

 Housatonic River looking north towards Bulls Bridge, one of the two covered bridges in CT which is still open to automobile traffic. Due to a fairly recent relocation, this view is no longer on the AT, but on a blue-blazed access trail from Bull's Bridge Road which meets the AT at MM 7.9. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
