Noroton River - Woodway Park

Springtime!

Woodway Destroyed

Neglect to Protect?

Visit to Inspect and Reflect...

Former Single track now destroyed by ATV four wheelers. Erosion, ruts everywhere... Despite a simple plea for signage from the City's Park Department labeling it as a conservation area - it's now a drag racing spot for ATVs and dirt bikes...

Former Single Track all ruined by ATVs

Trees Smashed

Small Tree knocked down by an ATV and blocking few remaining sections of single track

There use to be a tree section dragged here from the front of the park to sit on and enjoy the river. It is gone and probably tossed into the river.

Fall Lines and Deep Ruts Everywhere

Trash strewn about

Condoms!

This area should be fenced off and bollards added to allow entrance but shut out ATVs.

 Additional Photos (taken a week earlier)

Observations (Spring has sprung)

A few observations - spring is emerging (finally!)

this caught my eye
on a local road bike ride

after chowing down a great Brazilian meal -
with my beautiful wife south of Danbury

Ahh...
