Hello New Milford. This morning one of our table visitors asked about camping along the 55-mile regional greenway. While we cannot speak for the other 6 towns along the route, we can say New Milford really doesn't offer "camping", just a limited number of inns (Red Carpet Inn, Rocky River Inn, Homestead Inn New Milford), in somewhat close proximity to the greenway route. However, there is a global exchange service app called Warm Showers where hosts open their homes to touring cyclists providing them with a warm meal, a place to rest their heads and take a shower. There is no cost, but it is an exchange service- meaning there is an expectation that you will also host. It is a fun way to meet like-minded people and share stories from your adventures. Check out warmshowers.org for more information. If you'd like to speak with someone who has participated in the program, email lisa@nmbikewalk.org.
Good morning New Milford. If you are coming to downtown for the farm market or to visit local shops say hi to Lucy and Lisa. They can answer questions about the 7 towns that will form a 55-mile, continuous multipurpose greenway. #newmilfordrivertrail
