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.
My husband I decided to ride this trail on our visit to Boston. We parked at 31 McKenn Street in Waltham and rode in towards Boston, then crossed the river to ride back on the other side. First, I'll start with the positives. It has areas with nice shade and the views along the river are neat. Now for the negatives. The trail boasts it is all asphalt. It is not. There were many spots with packed dirt surface. Even though I don't like riding on anything but asphalt or concrete, this at least was pretty smooth and level. NOT compared to the badly maintained asphalt and concrete. The vegetation needed to be trimmed, the path was NOT marked at all (luckily my husband had a map on his phone), many sections were very narrow, not wide enough to have two bikes pass and the asphalt had many cracks that I had to be careful to watch for. Sorry but whoever has the contract to maintain this trail is falling down on the job. Boston is such a neat city so I won't let this trail color our experience as totally bad, but you couldn't pay me to ride this trail again.
Went on a ride just after 1pm. There were a lot of people. Some are so clueless that there are others that might want to use the trails. On a 90 degree day there were kids path side selling cold drinks and ice cream. At least they are out of the house. Path condition was nice. The path is maintained nicely and it’s clean. Wish there was a trash a can of two or few along the path as I saw many doggie poop gabs just left on the side of the path. Over all it was a good ride. Next time I would go in the morning or late evening to see how the crows is. Enjoy!
It is such a lovely trail. The view is gorgeous, either from the ocean or from the land. It goes through a few towns, all lovely and friendly. There are shops along the trail for you to stop by for ice cream, coffee or lemonade. There are a few road crossing, but the cars are very friendly and stop to let cyclists cross. The destination Bristol is just beautiful! Some areas are in the open, so the wind can be your friend or not …..
It’s a nice paved path, shaded half way through. Good for families with kids. Parking is free but though to find, suggests keep following the path till you find parking. There are several options along the way from the eastern end of the trail. Few food and restroom options, within coffee or mall shops. Public restrooms are very limited at least when starting from east end. We went only half way and back, with kids. Looking forward to finish the second half soon.
I live in Massachusetts about 25 minutes from this trail, my absolute favorite trail is the East Bay bike path, but that is about an hour drive for me, so this is one I frequent more often. I like the length of this ride, and that it is scenic, and more interesting than some of the rail trails that can be kind of boring. I think it is an easy ride, with just a few spots I need to lower my gears. I pack a lunch, snacks, and can be out for a few hours. There is ample parking, 195 Davison Ave Woonsocket is the address I use for WAZE. I have never gone as far as Providence, so I can only review Woonsocket - Lincoln.
I’ve skated every inch of this path dozens of times over many years. There’s a badly done asphalt patch at mile nine plus 100 yards (from the south end) that has a sharp lip that can face plant you. There are a fair number of root heaves that need your attention but can be skated or stepped over. There’s a public bathroom in the lobby of the Warren police station 150 feet from the trail (around mile 4 from the south end). Walk up the stone stairs from Joyce St.
Thoroughly enjoyable, three hour ride, passing chest at the beach, through neighborhoods, wildlife conservation areas, and over bridges. The Bristol parking lot is being redone and cannot be used, but we found parking on the streets. There were at least two detours in Barrington, but that made it only more exciting. only nice people on the trail and drivers stopped very politely at every of the many intersections. Overall, this ride was a pleasure and worth the 1 Hour drive to get there.
What a perfect ride on a Monday afternoon. Delighted to stop at Plant City for refreshments before we turned around and headed back to Bristol.
Trail is nicely shaded, paved and fun scenery. Yes, 6 mile round trip is indeed quite short for us - and hence the rating of 4. We combined this with the Blackstone River Greenway (20 mile R/T), one of our favorites. Around a 30 minute car drive between the two. This trail does have rest facilities about half way at a public park. The Blackstone has none.
Easy walk but the trail is not paved on the Medfield side; perfect if you want to minimize the impact on your knees
