Sweet singletrack in a beautiful urban wilderness

Trail Description:
Mianus River Park is a small parcel of land on the Mianus River. The park straddles the border of Greenwich and Stamford CT. Heavily used by riders from all over the metro area, this park requires thoughtful riding and watching out for hikers and the rare equestrian. You can't get lost here, though the trail network is a spiderweb. Some technical sections and short, steep power climbs keep it interesting for the racers, while lots of dirt roads and flat terrain make it an ideal spot for novices as well. Just treat it well!

How to get there:
Take exit 33 from the Merrit Parkway, proceed to Westover Rd south (head toward downtown Stamford). Look out for Merriebrook Lane on your right and signs indicating the park. Parking lot is next to the big red barn just down the hill. If you cross the bridge over the river you've gone too far.

Additional Notes:
Observe all trail usage signs and be on your best IMBA behavior!
