The New England Trail Information
The New England Trail (NET) is a National Scenic Trail in southern New England, which includes most of the three single trails Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, Mattabesett Trail and Metacomet Trail. Thus, due to the combinations to the Metacomet-Monadnock-Mattabesett trail system, the trail is sometimes called the Triple-M Trail.
Description:
This 215 mile route extends through 41 communities from Guilford, Connecticut in the south at Long Island Sound over the Metacomet Ridge, through the highlands of the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, to the New Hampshire state border. (The remainder of the M-M Trail to the summit of Mount Monadnock in southern New Hampshire is not included in the designation.)
The NET includes a now complete connector trail (the Menunkatuck Trail) from the southernmost location of the Mattabesett Trail (in northern Guilford, Connecticut) to the Long Island Sound and a deviation of the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail in Massachusetts, to lead the trail through state-owned land.
