A missing link. The Southampton Greenway is on its way.

Southampton is ready for a trail of its own. The Southampton Greenway will connect our community to a regional network of paths – and to each other. We’re the volunteers supporting the project.

When the Greenway opens, families will walk, run, and ride throughout town. An accessible path will connect the library, Zero College Highway, and local conservation areas, helping our neighbors stay mobile, healthy, and connected.

But the Greenway is more than a local trail – as an endpoint for an expansive 21-mile network, we’re on our way to becoming a place where people gather. Southampton is the missing link in the nearly complete New Haven and Northampton Canal Greenway – and part of an ambitious vision connecting New Haven to Boston by trail.

“The Greenway runs right through the heart of town. It's going to make nature accessible to everyone, not just people with cars and gear." — Amy Southampton resident

"My dream is to see the Massachusetts Central Rail Trail and the New Haven Northampton Greenway complete. I could explore the whole region with my bike by starting right down the street." - David, Southampton Resident

Work Together: The Greenway means more visitors to Southampton, and more business opportunities. See the economic impact report.
