The initial section (Phase I) starts at the corner of South Lake Street which is the northern end of the trail. It includes the Ghost Trail, the hallmark foundation that was completed in 2010 along the former rail bed.
The trail continues south into White Memorial Conservation Center (Phase II), winding through the beautiful wetlands and forest, and ultimately terminating at Bissell Road. A new parking area was built on White Woods Road in 2022 providing ample Greenway parking.
The trail then connects to the south end of Phase II via a 300 foot boardwalk that follows and crosses Bissell Road before reconnecting with the former railway bed along Route 202 (Phase III). This sections includes the "Bridge to Everywhere" which crosses Butternut Brook where some additional benches, parking, and wonderful daffodils can be found. This flat trail then continues south behind the Litchfield Distillery and terminates at North Shore Road where additional benches and parking is available.
