World War II Veterans Memorial Trail/Norton Rail-Trail

almost complete

June, 2025 by teamfiona

Great local path. It is all paved except for a short area near the Norton line. It has gravel for about 50 feet. Flat with lots of trees. Some finishing touches needed at the crossing but they have lights set up for safety. It’s about 13 round trip. Used by walkers, runners, bikers. Great place to teach kids how to ride a bike. Not too crowded.

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

wonderful trail with great variety

June, 2025 by teamfiona

I parked at NARA park and biked to Chelmsford. Today parked in same place and biked to west concord. Path is in great shape. Lots of trees, waterways, bridges, towns. Got to “the end” to discover that it actually goes several more miles which I’ll save for another day. I liked the poetry booth in West Concord- very original. I highly recommend this for scenery, safety, convenience of restaurants and bathroom stops. My favorite find this year.

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

Trail now extends almost to Route 20 in Sudbury!

June, 2025 by suebl

Yesterday we decided to see if the trail, south of West Concord, was finally open. Last year, there was a locked gate under an overpass, and the only way to get past was to drag the bike down a hill. But, to our delight, the gate is open, and we biked all the way to Sudbury, nearly to Route 20. The new leg of the trail is glorious, beautiful scenery, well-marked, great resting spots, with blinking lights at road crossings. At the end, it connects to the Mass Central Rail Trail, itself under construction, but people were biking on it anyway through a gap in the fence. The only thing missing: portapotties!

East Bay Bike Path (RI)

Great trail to do...

May, 2025 by jcenh

We just got back from doing this trail yesterday.
We started at the north end at the Fort Hill Parking area.
There were plenty of spots to park when we arrived.

Being a very nice day, there were LOTS of people out enjoying the trail.
We only went as far as Police Cove Park where the trail was closed.
There was a detour route that continued but we decided that was enough for the day and headed back.

We did take the side trail out to the carousel, which we knew would be closed from checking on the web.

We were a little surprised that a trail so nice didn't have ANY restroom facilities. It wasn't easy to go into the woods between lots of poison ivy and people on the trail.

We'll go back and go from south to north and enjoy the rest of the trail

East Bay Bike Path (RI)

Update to my 2024 review

May, 2025 by andrix

Just rode this trail today 5/27/25. My previous 5* review (2024) still stands with two additional comments. 1. There are virtually no port-a-potties on the trail. However, right near the southern end in Bristol there are some nice benches and just across Thames St is a very nice town facility. 2. The north end parking (India Point) is very busy and biking the first mile getting to the East Bay Path is involved with some unpleasant street portions. Use GPS to locate the parking at 66 Veterans Memorial Pkwy, East Providence. A much better option - in my opinion.

Hop River State Park Trail

Great place for a ride, scenery, and history

May, 2025 by traillink.qmsck

I recently rode this on a cool day in May from Manchester to Willimantic and back, so right at 40 miles. The trail is well-maintained and foot/bike traffic was light, even though it was a holiday weekend. Very scenic for long stretches and low elevation gain. I rode a gravel bike with 45 mm tires. On a road bike with reasonable tires, this should be do-able (I saw a couple of them), but there is one rough section of about 100ft (30m) where you would need to walk. There is also one underpass that is dark enough to use a headlight...but it's passable if you slow down. There are a number of places to read about the history of the rail line, as well as a few locations with fix-it stations with bike tools and air pumps.
One final tip: Google maps takes you to an intersection on Colonial Road for the Manchester trailhead...the parking lot has a tiny sign that is easy to miss.

Southern New England Trunkline Trail

Partly very rough ride

May, 2025 by arno911

We rode the eastern part of the trail today, starting at the CT/MA border towards Douglas. The first 6-8 mls are well maintained and a good ride even with a street bike. Nice scenery, too. But then things get worse around Douglas. Rough surface with crushed stone, sand and deep puddles after a rainfall (like today). Looks like the track has not been maintained in a while and detoriates. A mountain bike is a big plus and highly recommended in some parts of the trail. Was a good ride though but do not expect a smooth one.

Blackstone River Greenway

Stanley Woolen Mill in Uxbridge going North to Church Street

May, 2025 by andrix

This is described as a 3.5 mile section but we only went about half way to the dam from the Stanley Mill. It is passable on bikes but has roots and larger stones along the stone path. It's really more a walking trail. The farm mentioned in the description was an interesting side visit and had very nice bath & water facilities. However, for a great biking experience the 10 mile section starting at Woonsocket is paved and a far more pleasant ride.

Just rode the trail south to the Sudbury line. The east west trail is finished to the west for another 8 miles. It connects to the Hudson Trail at the end.

Moosup Valley State Park Trail

Great Little Trail!

April, 2025 by 9q8skpdwwc

I rode the Moosup Valley Rail Trail a few days ago from Moosup to Oneco. The trail is in excellent condition all the way, and beautiful! I rode 34mm knobbies, but would have had no trouble on 28 slicks. The only irritants were a guy on a motorized scooter in Moosup and 2 guys on screaming dirt bikes going the other way a bit farther along, but they passed quickly. In Sterling, dirt bikers had dug shallow ruts into a short stretch of path, diagonal to direction of travel, which made it bumpy but not hazardous. Otherwise lovely! I wish Rhode Island would step up to the plate and finish the connector to its Washington Secondary path.

Southwick Rail Trail

A perfect little trail

April, 2025 by robert.richter89

I rode the entirety of the Southwick Rail Trail coming from the Farmington Canal in CT. The Farmington is in very good condition, the Southwick is in even better condition! There are mile markers every mile, the scenery is very peaceful and the trail is very flat making it an easy ride. I stopped as soon as I hit the Columbia Greenway but it is also a seamless transition to that trail as well.

I didn't notice any places to pull off for food but its a short trail so I don't consider that a negative. The trails that join this one really give you so many options for ride length or to visit the trail towns along the way.
