Connecticut's Last Green Valley
Can anyone suggest a 3- or 4-day tour of the Last Green Valley in Connecticut? 30-50 miles a day. I'm not too much into historical sights. My criteria: easy terrain; beautiful landscapes; nice villages; state campgrounds or stealth camping available.
Thanks very much for your ideas!

Hmm, I've lived in Connecticut almost all of my life and I had to go to Google to find out what the "Last Green Valley" was. Turns out I've lived in three of the 35 towns! I've heard that region called the "Quiet Corner" and I knew that it was the darkest area between DC and Boston but I somehow missed this title.
Anyway, I found a bunch of routes and info on this page: https://www.tlgv.org/explore/where-to-pedal.html
Part of the ACA East coast route goes through here, as does the East Coast Greenway.
You can find state parks and forests on this map: https://www.depdata.ct.gov/maps/parks...s/parksmap.htm
Have a great trip!
