In Norwalk, located 8 miles north of Stamford, there’s some nice running along the Norwalk River.
On the east side, there’s a nice run from the Town Green, and then along Smith St. to the Norwalk River Esplanade, south to Liberty Point. The Esplanade path has some nice water views. It’s 1.8 miles one-way.
On the western side, the [NEW] Norwalk River Valley Trail runs for 3.2 miles from Oyster Shell Park north to Broad St. at Kellogg Pond. The nicest section is the first 1.5 miles through the two parks, where there are some additional paths that are nice for running. The northern half is a bit of a highway tangle. There are plans to extend the trail through Wilton, Redding, and Ridgefield.
