Dream it

Sinuosity, a trail planning, design, and build team rooted in Vermont, has been contracted to build the first machine-built flow trail system in Southern New England; Echo Lake is an old campground located in Burrillville, RI.

  • Accessible and adaptive trail loop along the lake for riders with disabilities

  • Expands local recreation in a part of the state with few trail opportunities

  • Benefits local youth, schools, and the economy

  • Converts a dormant campground into a vibrant public asset
