6.96 miles; from Route 27 to US 1 in Stonington. The state considers Route 234 a scenic road, as it climbs down a bluff toward the ocean. The Danbury News-Times writes: "Also known as the Pequot Trail, this 3.2-mile stretch through Stonington is truly a rider's delight. Experience breathtaking views of the valley below as you head up a steep ridge traveling east. Then twist and turn your way through the wooded back country. Rows of majestic maple trees provide a shady hollow for historic colonial homes and country churches." |

In late 1930, Stonington officials passed a resolution to ask the state to incorporate Pequot Trail as a state road. This was eventually approved, as in 1932 it became part of the new state Route 84, leading from Groton to Pawcatuck via Old Mystic. Around 1935, the eastern part of Route 84 (now Route 184) was relocated away from Pequot Trail to the Providence - New London Turnpike, a more direct route between those cities. Pequot Trail was eventually dropped from the state highway system. In 1963, the Pequot Trail became secret route SR 645; it was promoted to signed Route 234 on Sept. 1, 1987. |
