Old Mill Trail – along the Housatonic River – Dalton, Mass

Old Mill Trail – along the Housatonic River – Dalton, Mass

In 2003, the Housatonic Valley Assoc., in cooperation with the towns of Hinsdale and Dalton and in partnership with Crane & Company, began construction of the Old Mill Trail, a greenway trail along the East Branch of the Housatonic River from Dalton to Hinsdale.

The trail was completed in 2010 and passes through many fascinating historic sites including an old dam, the Plunkett Brothers mill, and the remains of the penstock that channeled water to mills in Dalton. The natural beauty of this land is rugged and spectacular with boulders and hemlock groves.
