Rode this rail-trail in its entirety with loaded touring bike as part of a longer tour from Connecticut up to Vermont and around Lake Champlain. The 11 miles of trail is beautifully maintain with excellent pavement quality (not root-rutted like many paved trails) and wonderful scenery. Access to water and restrooms was readily available along with benches for resting that I noticed. There were walkers, runners, skaters and bike riders, all friendly and interactive, but not overly crowded. A great way to by-pass Rt 8 if going from Pittsfield to Adams.

I rode this trail on june 14, 2009 - what a terrific day and a terrific trail. I'll try and be more specific. The trail is clean, well kept paving, and wide enough to accomodate all users. If you come to a rode crossing-of course, stop; but the traffic in the area seemed conditioned to stop. There are benches all along the route if you want to stretch out for a moment; and picnic benches by the water. Out in the water there are kayaks, boats, jetskis and paddle boats, it was fun to ride along and wave to people out in the kayaks.
The views! Oh, the views! just made for a magical day along with all the variety of wildlife, birds and bunnies. Just a clean, beautiful path - perfect.
I even had a Berkshire sun shower to ride through: it rained, it stopped raining - the sun came out and dried everything! I'll be back soon and often.

Talk about a great trail.... this one pretty much has it all. The lake, mountain, and bird views are beautiful, so bring your camera. Condition of the trail was excellent, and the Adams Visitors Center is a perfect start/finish as the Rest Rooms and picnic area are clean & new. The Lanesborogh Trailhead is fine also, & there are numerous stopping areas along the Trail....all appearing clean & fairly new.
Thought The Nasua River Rail Trail couldn't be beat, but my wife & I agree this one is just as good!
