Small parking/ trailhead on the Airline Rail Trail in Pomfret Center — a flat, linear former railroad cutting through mixed hardwoods, wetlands and stonework. Ideal for woodland, seasonal foliage, long leading lines and quiet dawn/dusk light. Free parking, easy access, no permit. Best at sunrise/sunset and peak fall colors; winter snows add stark minimalism. Weekday mornings are least busy.
