Mountain Bike
Many trails to choose from, very techical singletrack, powerlines, dirtbike tracks, every possible obstacle, can be very confusing, not well mapped out, and you can end up 10 miles south in Higganum if you dont pay attention. There are lots of trails for beginners, intermediates, and advanced riders. If you want to go on a group ride, you can always check out Pedal Power in downtown Middletown, the owners usually take groups out, or during the summer season, there are always plenty of riders out there. Basically, any kind of ride you can think of in the northeast is out there. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
