From W Shepard Ave to Wintergreen Ave, Hamden, New Haven County, Connecticut
Baldwin Drive is closed to motor vehicle traffic and runs along the ridge of West Rock Ridge State Park. It's 'paved' but the chipseal pavement is unmaintained and closer to gravel in texture and rideability. Enter at the south end at the main entrance to West Rock State Park, on Wintergreen Avenue. Go though the gate and then turn right up the hill where the road splits. From the northern end, climb West Shepard Avenue and then go through the gate.

Baldwin Drive is great even if it's not actually gravel. But when you get to the north end and have to go on West Shepard Ave - that's in horrible shape. Was 3/4 washed out in places. Not sure how rideable that's going to be after a few more major storms.
