Two Sections of Hockanum River Linear Park Trail

East Hartford, CT - Two sections of the Hockanum River Linear Park Trail in East Hartford are temporarily closed. The foot bridge over the Hockanum River in Martin Park is closed to enable the replacement of floor decking that has deteriorated with age and wear and tear. Additionally, a section of the boardwalk located approximately 250 yards south of the Elm Street parking area was recently severely damaged by a large fallen tree. The tree has been removed, but the boardwalk is unusable at that location. Repairs to both areas of the Trail are awaiting release of Federal funding recently authorized thanks to the effort of U.S. Representative John Larson.
