Mystic Crossing’s core mission is to increase the vitality of the Lower Mystic Basin thru construction of continuous and accessible pedestrian and bicycle connection across the Amelia Earhart Dam. We intend to maintain simplicity in realizing the construction, and assure consistency of actions with planning for the lower Mystic Basin and the goal of increasing access to, across and along the river.

Realizing that this is, first and foremost, a Department of Conservation and Recreation project, we will focus on advocacy for the dam crossing and its construction in the near future through coordinating supporters and acting as a vehicle for communication to interest new potential supporters. Our mission includes keeping the larger basin wide issues in mind such as future Crossings at Routes 28, 99 and 16, fish migration, flood control, recreational boating and many others.
