CONNECTICUT RIDING AREASTRAIL MAPSWEATHER + EVENTSRIDER RESOURCES
Connecticut Motorized AccessLegal public motorized trail riding is extremely limited. Thomaston Dam provides a designated seasonal trail-bike system for two-wheel motorcycles only; three- and four-wheel ATVs are prohibited.
Thomaston SeasonThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lists the trail-bike season as May 1 through October 14, conditions permitting. Flooding, weather and maintenance can close the trails, so riders must check current status before travel.
Registration & Vehicle ClassesThomaston requires motorcycle registration with the plate attached and paperwork available for inspection. Do not interpret motorcycle access as ATV, UTV or full-size 4x4 access.
Responsible RecreationStay on marked trails, obey one-way travel and posted speed limits, use legal muffler and spark-arrester equipment, avoid woods, wetlands and closed areas, pack out trash and respect current closures.
