The Ellington Hockanum* River Committee is a group of volunteers which maintains hiking trails alongside the Hockanum River. These volunteers and other civic organizations have worked to preserve the scenic woodlands, wetlands and wildlife on the river and to provide hiking trails for public recreation.

In Ellington there are 3 hiking trails along the Hockanum River. These hiking trails have been cleared and maintained by members of the Hockanum River Watershed Association solely by agreements between the various property owners and the HRWA.

For information on the trails maintained by the Committee, click on the appropriate Trail Link or on the trail itself within the "Enlargement of Hockanum River Trails Area" block below.
