Nice easy trail until it crosses the stream then turns into more challenging path. Small elevation changes. Lots of mosquitoes since it goes next to a stream/bog/swamp
I'm in love with this trail. Much of the trail path is dirt, but there is a new area with fine gravel. I find this such a peaceful trail and consider it to be in good maintenance. Thanks to everyone that maintains the trails.
Wellington Greenway Trail is good place to ride my bike underpass the MBTA purple and orange line trains. Ducks walk by the river pond. I have seen yacht boats there.
This section (8/2024) is about 5 miles long. It goes through woodland and past leafy backyards, but it runs alongside the towers for a high-tension power line. Trees have been clear-cut about 25 feet on both sides of the trail, so there's no shade along this section. But the trail is wide, very straight, and smoothly paved. It has a few small ups and downs and crosses four or five quiet roads before it comes to a traffic signal at the intersection of Routes 126 and 27. Just beyond, the trail turns to crushed stone with a few sandy patches. There's a large supermarket and shopping center adjacent to the trail at that point.
We parked in West Concord and decided to ride south to Sudbury. Beautiful trail — ends 2 miles from where we parked with a locked gate. BUT… there is more trail on the other side. There is a nice, paved switchback up to a crossing at Powdermill Road. All marked with great signage. The way down on the other side is very steep and not paved—but manageable after dismounting. Trail is just as beautiful on the other side. We didn’t make it quite to the end because I got a construction-based flat at North Road (the Davis Field parking lot). I didn’t notice that they hadn’t paved the transitions at the road crossing and pinched a tire. Oh well. Hopefully, by the time you ride the construction will be complete and you can just enjoy the scenery!
This isn’t one of those trails that you can zip along mindlessly, since it’s stitched together with various public spaces and has quite a few street crossings and pedestrians. But I found it to be a leisurely ride through Boston’s urban landscape. Northeastern University’s campus, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods are all easy off-shoots if you’re up for city streets with bike lanes. The park also has a cool backstory as a planned highway connection between I-95 and Boston that was blocked by community activists in favor of mass transit, public spaces, and a bike trail. I’m sure it’s busy during peak commuting times, though it wasn’t too bad on the Sunday morning I visited.
Mile 17-7 going south from Woonsocket the trail is marked. Very enjoyable ride.
This trail was lovely. I did the entire trail both ways in a couple of hours. Mostly flat and well maintained. Began in Tilton on Rt 140 and road to the end in Franklin. Many nice places to stop along the way. Took some great pictures. It was a bit confusing when the trail ends and you are routed down Main Street in Tilton. I almost turned around at this point. Honestly It’s really not that far through town. Just be careful of cars backing out of parking spots. The vistas are worth it, keep going. Looking forward to checking out another trail.
This trail was mostly on high traffic streets with many intersections to cross. It was not a favorite for my children. We started in Milton at Blue Hills Parking Lot (which only has about 8 spots) and turned around in Mattapan.
The trail no longer runs through. It is flooded year round due to beaver activity. Not sure if DCR or National Grid maintains it but it has been flooded for a couple years now.
Easy walk from Medfield to Dover. Much of the path is paved, but into Dover, it still has rr ties; there is a cool, (1/4m?) tree tunnel.
