Old Connecticut Path: Waters Farm & Manchaug Pond -- West Sutton, MA

Also known as the Nipmuc Path, Wikipedia tells us:

 "The Old Connecticut Path was the Native American trail that led westward from the area of Massachusetts Bay to the Connecticut River Valley, the first of the North American trails that led west from the settlements close to the Atlantic seacoast, towards the interior.

The old route is still followed, for part of its length, by Massachusetts Route 9 and Massachusetts Route 126..."
