Confirmed from Angelo Joseph Sferrazza Memorial Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Kid-friendly riverside trail plus a boat launch for canoes and kayaks, along with a rustic campsite.
What runners say about Angelo Joseph Sferrazza Memorial Park
“Relatively quiet, and a nice place to watch the sunset and feed some ducks”
Recent secret spot find. This is a great place to walk along the river south to the railroad bridge. I didn't make the full trek yet. There is boat ramp here. Plenty of parking. And it's all free.
Easy river access with the boat launch. I was surprised by how close King Island is. The water was flowing fairly calmly near the boat launch but picks up a lot of speed further south along the island. I would watch out for that when kayaking. Nice little trail headed south from the parking lot.
Easy to launch small craft boats. There are two islands. One you can walk to when the river is low. If you boat to the other island, there is rustic camping. No cost. There is a bathroom on the big island.
I find this little trail running along the Connecticut river simply mesmerizing. The views are pretty, and the sound of birds chirping along the trail is amazing. It's an easy trail and most likely you will be seeing and certainly hearing the noise from the passing train during your walk.
