The Thomaston Dam is a scenic riding area in Thomaston, Connecticut, that offers a designated single-track trail system specifically for two-wheeled trail bikes. Spanning over 800 acres of public land, the park provides a 12-mile loop for riders. The trails are generally manageable but do include some technical sections with ruts, short rocky climbs, and tight cutbacks. Three- and four-wheeled vehicles are strictly prohibited from using these trails.
The riding season at Thomaston Dam is from May 1st to October 14th, with trail conditions being weather-dependent. All motorcycles must have a current state registration, with the plate attached to the bike. Riders should call ahead or check the park's Facebook page to confirm if the trails are open. Parking is available in two small lots at the end of the dam.Dirt Bike Trail System
