Route 7 follows the Housatonic River through one of the most beautiful parts of western Connecticut. From New Milford to Canaan (some 35 miles), you can drive through a 160-year-old covered bridge (Bulls Bridge), and see the 250-foot Kent Falls, meet hikers on the 2,000-mile long Appalachian Trail at Cornwall Bridge and watch fly fishermen casting for trout. Fans of motor racing visit Lime Rock Park, history buffs head for Lakeville’s two intriguing museums and railroad enthusiasts stop at Canaan’s Victorian station.
