The Appalachian Trail crosses Dawn Hill Road northwest of the Housatonic River.

The Appalachian Trail route through the northwestern corner of Connecticut meanders across the worn-down remnants of a once lofty mountain range. The Housatonic River Valley to the east and Taconic Range to the west are particularly scenic, and one section of the Trail near Falls Village has been designed for wheelchair accessibility. Many sections run along the banks of rivers. Hiking is mostly moderate, with steep, fairly challenging sections that are short in duration.
