The Ives Trail and Greenway is a 20-mile (32 km) hiking trail in the Housatonic Valley Region (also known as Greater Danbury). Its route connects Ridgefield, Danbury, Bethel and Redding. The Ives Trail is named after Charles Ives, a Danbury-born American modernist composer.
The Ives Trail is maintained through the efforts of the Ives Trail and Greenway Regional Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
There is a guidebook, which is available at the Tarrywile Mansion.
