Cheshire Rail Trail (Cheshire Branch Rail Trail)

Varied Terrain, MultiUse, Lovely. Birds!

April, 2026 by susanadeleedwards

Went north out of Keene on the trail, and was quickly in a lovely wooded area, then soon at a side trail to Stonewall Farm, where visitors are welcome to wander. The birds were singing happily! We did 6.5 miles out before turning around but there was plenty more trail to explore. If you are expecting a super flat trail and a packed surface this may not be your kind of fun. If you don’t mind dismounting for a rickety bridge, or adventuring on side trails, then check this trail Out ,

Hanover Branch Rail Trail

Easy parking at Circuit Street.

April, 2026 by nadineklink

Park at Circuit Street for very easy access to historic sites. There are many interesting things to see at this end including the 1829 West Hanover Cemetery and beautiful water features at this end. Recommended.

Canalside Rail Trail

Beautiful scenery

November, 2025 by scanlon.gail

The Canalside rail trail is fully open and the paved trail is very well maintained. While it is only 7.2 miles round trip, it’s worth it! Plenty of parking at both ends and the town of Turners Falls has a nice selection of restaurants and shops.

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

Great country ride, yet close to Urban life

November, 2025 by kleistikow

We’ve biked this many times. It quickly takes you from Lowell, with its National Park, etc to countryside and the center of small towns along smooth, paved, well-maintained trail. Nice to swim in Hart Pond, too, in season, on return trip to Lowell. Trail keeps getting better and better, great facilities along the way as trail is extended.

Washington Secondary Bike Path

Not a bad ride

October, 2025 by trainman1957

Deer Island Loop Trail

Neat little trail.

October, 2025 by chrismwy984

Nice short trail with beautiful views and an interesting history. If you’re biking, keep your mouth closed or you might ingest a fly in some spots.

Washington Secondary Bike Path

No e-bikes allowed

October, 2025 by dwxchcmrzk

This is a multi use bike trail for everyone to enjoy.

Farmington Canal Heritage Trail

ok

October, 2025 by deceived

Rode a portion from Milldale north to Southington. All paved in fairly decent shape. A few bumps but no broken pavement. At the point in Southington the trail just ends with no information as to where to go. No signs or arrows. The trail picks up somewhere a few miles away but I couldn’t find out how to get there. On the portion I rode it was flat and easy, but not much to see other than woods and backs of buildings.

Upper Charles Trail

lots of street crossings

September, 2025 by chleary11

This is a good trail, but if you start in Milford and do the entire checkmark there are a lot of street crossings. The pretty parts of the trail are nice and shady and wooded, but there is a fair amount of commercial areas that you have to get through. It’s nice and flat and there are lots of parking areas along the way. My gps did not take me to a parking lot but when I put the trail into AllTrails I got accurate directions.
