and overlaps with sections of the Lantern Hill trail and loop trail as well as several unmarked trails. The Tippecansett Trail and a Rhode Island extension of the Narragansett Trail connect to the Narragansett Trail at the Connecticut / Rhode Island state border. Trail route The western end of the Narragansett Trail starts on Wintechog Road in North Stonington, Connecticut, to the southeast of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe's Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut. The trail climbs southward, connecting with the Lantern Hill trail and Lantern Hill Loop trail. After climbing to the Lantern Hill summit the trail descends to the west and heads north-west. It passes through the North Stonington Dog Pound and waste transfer station property before crossing Wintechog Road. The trail continues north through woods and eventually passes through two open fields (meadows). After the Gallup Pond dam bridge the trail crosses Connecticut Route 2. There is a short road walk to and down Ryder Road to the trail entrance to Nature Conservancy's Gladys Foster parcel. The trail continues to Yawbux Brook and an unnamed beaver pond before entering Pachaug State Forest. The trail then joins Wyassup Lake Road at the Lake Wyassup boat launch. From the Lake Wyassup boat launch, the trail climbs to the High Ledge plateau and then to the Legend Woods / Pendleton Hill area before crossing Connecticut Route 49. Next the trail travels north-east through the private hunting preserve (and fishing pond) of the Groton Sportsmen Club (this Narragansett Trail section is closed from October to March according to posted signs), re-enters the Pachaug State Forest at Tom Wheeler Road and follows the Green Fall River (and ravine) north to Green Fall Pond. The trail follows the south-east shore of the pond before leaving the shore of the pond to head east to the Rhode Island border. At the border the trail turns ninety degrees to head south over a rock ridge over a cave. After a half mile the trail's Connecticut section ends at a very small parking lot and state line marker where Green Fall Road becomes Yawgoog Road in Rhode Island. There is a short (four mile) extension of the trail into Rhode Island which is blazed yellow. This Narragansett Trail extension passes by the Long and Ell Ponds and passes through the Rockville Wildlife Management Area before ending at the former swimming area on Ashville Pond in Hopkinton, Rhode
