The artist Anna Huntington deeded her estate to Connecticut for the park, and two of her statues, one of bears and one of wolves guard the main parking lot. Huntington is a favorite of everyone from families to riders who enjoy highly technical trails.

A 200-acre open space owned by the town of Danbury, Farrington Woods sits off the westbound side of I-84 along the border of CT and NY. Home to Sanford Pond, and the head of the Still River, the trail system is a mix of decade-old jeep trails and new multi-use singletrack that offers fun, flowing trails for both experienced and new riders, walkers, hikers and trail runners There already exists a 2.5 mile loop along the lower section of the park near the water that is relatively mellow (especially for Fairfield County!), and one of the longer, fully-benched trails in the area climbs almost 500″ to the highest point in the park. Epic views both along the water and from the lookout will reward users for their efforts and keep them coming back.
Bennetts Pond/Hemlock Hills
23 miles of trails
Bennett’s Pond is part of the Connecticut State Park System. Together with Ridgefield’s Hemlock Hills, Pine Mountain and Lake Windwing, it forms one of the largest nature preserves in the Southwest portion of the state. Glacial activity has left numerous erratic boulders and small cliffs throughout the area. Featuring a wide variety of terrain it’s a picturesque place and any ride here is bound to be memorable.
The area consists of meadows, woodlands, wetlands and steep ridges all traversed by great trails of varying difficulty. The ride down to the pond is an easy and fast downhill but as you go north into Pine Mountain or further west into Hemlock Hills, the terrain can be challenging.
Trails feature twisty tight single track along rock-strewn ridges; there’s even a massive slick rock section. With some hike-a-bike in the northern reaches — Bennetts is still a diamond in the rough but an awesome park to explore.
