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.
We biked on a Sunday in May. Plenty of parking at West Hurley. The scenery was stunning and varied. Started in forests, with some reminders of people who made their living in these woods. Ended with views of Catskills and the reservoir. Truly stunning views, wide, well maintained trail that we cycled on our hybrids.
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.
.With a mix of cinders , gravel , dirt & pavement this makes for a nice interesting ride . Along the way in High Falls make a left and visit the D+H canal museum its about a mile down the road .

Rode 2.5 miles from Wilmington north on mountain tire bikes and it is doable but rough with roots and rocks. Nice bridges but missing signage in some areas, others well marked. No washout areas close to Wilmington.
Morning ride, foggy with lots of little critters, trail is paved with a few hills, views of railyard, picturesque village of Round Lake, mostly forested with wild flowers, very well maintained rail well worth the ride. trail.
Rode the entire Farmington Canal Heritage Trail as part of a 2 day ride from Northampton to New Haven. What a fabulous experience! So much variety and New England splendor packed into one journey. It was very interesting to see how each of the towns maintained the trail differently. Everything from the paving to the signage changed as you moved from one village to the next. What an amazing treasure!
We found this trail to be well maintained. Not as smooth as some rail trails, but smooth enough on our full suspension fat tire bikes. Hard tails may not enjoy as much. Nice scenery along the Connecticut river.
Short for bike, nice views, benches and even a real train.

The Mrs and I rode this beautiful trail from North Hampton to just short of Belchertown, and back.
The weather was great and the trail is mostly shaded, so the ride was superb.
I'd have no objection to doing it again.
