Minuteman Commuter Bikeway

Worth a Trip

July, 2022 by lughnerson

August 2021
Of course, due to its historical relevance serious bike trail gatherers such as myself should visit this trail. When I went the weather was astoundingly nice for August; mid 70's and clear. First I tried to park near a bike shop in Lexington, but well, let's say it was not fruitful. So I went to the community parking lot which was right on the trail. I went all the way south into Boston where it gets much busier. Also the MMCB intersects with other trails and I wasn't sure when it end, but that was okay. I just turned around and went back, but did take a few side detours. All the way to the north end I rode.

The best part of the trip for me was seeing - on foot - the historic sights of the Revolutionary Era. It's a great place to ride.

Concord River Greenway

Short and sweet, with great views of the rushing Concord River.

July, 2022 by kristopherwonson

Short and sweet, and a nice interconnect starting on Lawrence St by the Lowell Cemetery and ending by the Concord River on Rogers St. While a fairly short ride, the trail has great views of the Concord and the wildlife that inhabits it.

gray trail

July, 2022 by tylrzmum

I’m from out of state working here. Found this trail. Parking in the middle somewhere. Nice trail. Felt safe. Only walked about 2 miles but will def go back. You have to cross streets here and there. So if you are on a bike, that might not be what you’re looking for. But I’m will be returning to see other areas of the trail. But the part that I was on was great.

Rail trail fail

July, 2022 by wendyehudson

Biked there June 2022. Trail in need of repaving, no question. Lots of roots and divets makes it nearly impossible to look anywhere but at the path. Otherwise, it’s an OK trail thru the woods. Very few vistas along the way.

lovely ride!

June, 2022 by he5qd8bfcs

A wonderful ride in the shade and pretty flat. We were happy on our hybrids with beefy gravel grinder tires. We did half of the trail from Masabesic Lake east to Raymond. We look forward to doing the other half soon. Not many other people on the trail 11am-4pm. More people after 3pm.

Salisbury Point Ghost Trail

Peaceful and Shaded

June, 2022 by wbw9gdqhfm

This is a nice, shaded trail. It is hard packed and has a couple wooded bridges that are pretty bumpy. We parked at Lion’s Park and headed west from there. The trail is wide enough for bikes to pass, it’s nicely shaded and has benches and planters along the way. The street crossings are well marked and on quiet streets. Another reviewer mentioned that this is a nice trail for letting the kids bike on and I agree. It’s a great trail for a beginning biker to get more confident.

Winnipesaukee River Trail

Nice on the Franklin end

June, 2022 by lucyem

We parked in the Trestle View Park in Franklin (dodging the sprinklers uselessly watering mid day) and went all the way to the beginning of Tilton. There was a parking lot and a small skate park. There were also a trail directions sign with pictures on how to work your way through Tilton to the other end of the trail. Plus a link to the directions online. We decided not to bother and turned around and headed back to Franklin. I checked online maps and this spot is labeled as Winnipesaukee River Trail Northfield. If we went back and had a sprinkler issue or no parking then we'd head over to this other parking area. The Franklin end of the trail, after the initial slow uphill grade, is wide and flat and we ran into walkers, dogs and people with strollers.

Mass Central Rail Trail

Oakham to Rutland

June, 2022 by b4gzcfbgs2

I was glad to find this trail; I biked the Oakham-Rutland section. Traveling from Oakham to Rutland, I am estimating the trail is 95% gradual uphill, 3% challenging uphill, 1% level, and 1% downhill. Would you prefer biking uphill or downhill on the return trip? The trail is primarily stone dust with a few small rocks and a very brief section of gravel. Perhaps a mountain bike would be preferable, but my hybrid bike was fine.

Southern New England Trunkline Trail

Some good parts, some awful

May, 2022 by jadsmith001

Cycled the SNETT 28May2022 from Thompson CT to Franklin MA. 22 miles.

Summary: CT state line to the end of Douglas State Forest good - 5 *, last 2.5 miles in Franklin good 5*. The rest - don't bother as of May 2022 1*

The trail in Thompson CT is in fact the CT Airline trail that directly rolls into MA as the SNETT.
This section through to the end of Douglas State park is a really nice ride west to east on hard packed gravel, slightly uphill with some picturesque settings. This end of the trail can be ridden on a gravel bike. If you intend to ride further make sure that you have a mountain bike.
As you head out of Douglas State Park, it starts getting messy. 1/2 inches of rain the previous day and we're into the mud. Now a gravel bike doesn't cut it, and that's before the sand, rocks and stones.  You'll need that mountain bike, determination and patience.  There are lots of better places to go mountain biking than here!

At mile 11 the soggy muddy track dumps you onto the hard shoulder of rte146 just outside Millville MA. Good luck!  If you are going east to west, your chances of finding this tiny on ramp at the edge of rte 146 are close to zero as is nearby parking.

Millville to Blackstone MA is on road, no sign posts, no directions and Google maps really doesn't cut it. You pick up the SNETT in Blackstone near a CVS. Yes....riiiiiight. Nope not happening. Google maps are not accurate here. Spent 1/4 hour checking out the back streets of Blackstone. Good luck.... do not rely on Google maps too much for trail directions.
Picked up the trail again on Farm Street by the lake and landfill. A pathetic single track trail, between 2 lakes, boggy, rocks across the whole trail and you need the mountain bike to get through the mud. Avoid. 

1 mile later go through an underpass of rte 126, trail is closed. No warning, no diversion, tough.  Another reason to avoid. Scramble up the embankment to rte 126. Road trip past South Elementary School to Franklin - about 1.5 miles.  Rejoin the SNETT (yes, signposted at last!) for the last 2.5 miles, a mixture of paved and hard packed dirt - rideable with most bikes - maybe not with a true road bike. This bit is definitely worth riding.

Trail Closed

May, 2022 by mhyney7648

I began at the trail head - bit bumpy for the first mile and a side trail has been rerouted because of the wet mucky ground. Once you pass that it’s clear sailing until… the 3 mile point and the trail is closed. Logging equipment and logs block the trail. ¿

Enjoyed the ride...

May, 2022 by jcenh

Did the rail for the second time a few days ago.
No mud or issues with the trail.
Very enjoyable. Several people out walking and biking - enjoying the day.

Did side trail to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Bumpy trail but short to cemetery.

Will do again.
