This trail was OK. The part along the river and in downtown was scenic and it was paved all the way.
However, it goes along the highway for a while with just a chain link fence as separation, which is not enjoyable at all (east of the gap is not scenic). It also has a lot of tree roots creating speed bumps. Finally, the gap between the river and the rest is significant (& don't take what looks like the most direct route as Pratt & Whittney has a security gate for part, so you can't get through unless employed there).
Came here for my first skating trail as a beginner it was great! Lots of sticks around so beware of your step but other than that will be coming here a lot more! Loved it
The trail is now wide asphalt in excellent condition, with clean, well groomed sides. Most of it is very close to the river, so, while foliage may obscure panoramic cross river views, it's still pleasant for a downtown trail.
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.
First, be aware that the description is not accurate. The north end of this trail, from the dead end near I-95 to 2300 feet south of Pye Brook Road (PBR) is in Boxford, not Topsfield.
The portion north of PBR is a single rut, usable, but not great. From PBR south to the Boxford-Topsfield border it's a little over a yard wide, packed fine stone, not quite as firm as asphalt, but perfectly satisfactory for my trike. At the border, the trail becomes a single rough rocky track, barely usable and very uncomfortable on my trike. I can't comment further south, because I turned around.
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.
This trail needs open parking spaces! Most of the parking spots are blocked off!
don't see bathroom in the parking lot
Well, used multiple vehicle vehicles. Maintenance vehicle working on trail . Good views. Will ride again.
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.
