Wellington Greenway Trail is good place to ride my bike underpass the MBTA purple and orange line trains. Ducks walk by the river pond. I have seen yacht boats there.
This section (8/2024) is about 5 miles long. It goes through woodland and past leafy backyards, but it runs alongside the towers for a high-tension power line. Trees have been clear-cut about 25 feet on both sides of the trail, so there's no shade along this section. But the trail is wide, very straight, and smoothly paved. It has a few small ups and downs and crosses four or five quiet roads before it comes to a traffic signal at the intersection of Routes 126 and 27. Just beyond, the trail turns to crushed stone with a few sandy patches. There's a large supermarket and shopping center adjacent to the trail at that point.
We parked in West Concord and decided to ride south to Sudbury. Beautiful trail — ends 2 miles from where we parked with a locked gate. BUT… there is more trail on the other side. There is a nice, paved switchback up to a crossing at Powdermill Road. All marked with great signage. The way down on the other side is very steep and not paved—but manageable after dismounting. Trail is just as beautiful on the other side. We didn’t make it quite to the end because I got a construction-based flat at North Road (the Davis Field parking lot). I didn’t notice that they hadn’t paved the transitions at the road crossing and pinched a tire. Oh well. Hopefully, by the time you ride the construction will be complete and you can just enjoy the scenery!
This isn’t one of those trails that you can zip along mindlessly, since it’s stitched together with various public spaces and has quite a few street crossings and pedestrians. But I found it to be a leisurely ride through Boston’s urban landscape. Northeastern University’s campus, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Fenway and Back Bay neighborhoods are all easy off-shoots if you’re up for city streets with bike lanes. The park also has a cool backstory as a planned highway connection between I-95 and Boston that was blocked by community activists in favor of mass transit, public spaces, and a bike trail. I’m sure it’s busy during peak commuting times, though it wasn’t too bad on the Sunday morning I visited.
Mile 17-7 going south from Woonsocket the trail is marked. Very enjoyable ride.
Love the beautiful trail, but horseback riders should have a manure bag on the horses to catch their droppings. Not fair to others walking the trail.
Unfinished trail. Did not feel safe on portions of the trail.
When I first rode this trail in 2012, it was horrible, even though I had a mountain bike. My wife and I just settled on driving over to Coventry, RI to ride; Moosup was next to impossible. But several months ago work began to get it fixed up. What a nice job, with drainage, a new stone-dust surface, and nice fencing. We have ridden trails all over town country, and this is one of the nicest anywhere. Now, if RI will finish the Washington Secondary Trail from Summit to the state line, I could ride all the way to Providence without having to go on the road!
So much of this path is great so it’s unfortunate that the portion of the path nearest Norton is in such a state of disrepair. There are quite literally blocks inserted between the path and the road to fill the gap, but only on one side of the path so if a cyclist chooses the wrong side they will take a lovely concrete spill. Not only that, it’s not always the same side. Sometimes left, sometimes right. I chose poorly and am now the bearer of some lovely watercolor designs all the way up my right side. Had this been temporary, it would be understandable, but a month after the first visit they are still present and repairs are not made. Also, the holes, or planters, or whatever they are, that split the path into right and left are dangerous. After you’ve traversed the gap (maybe you’ve chosen the side with the block and didn’t fall in!), you will then be required to navigate around a water-filled pit. If you’re teetering from choosing the side without a filler block, hope you don’t fall in! (Just fill that in. They’re dangerous and unnecessary. It’s. Bike path, not an English garden.)
This trail was mostly on high traffic streets with many intersections to cross. It was not a favorite for my children. We started in Milton at Blue Hills Parking Lot (which only has about 8 spots) and turned around in Mattapan.
Easy walk from Medfield to Dover. Much of the path is paved, but into Dover, it still has rr ties; there is a cool, (1/4m?) tree tunnel.
