Print Friendly MapThe Boxford Rail Trail is a short, rustic pathway open on a former rail corridor in rural Essex County. Now home to overhead electric wires owned by National Grid, the trail is open via a license granted from the utility to the Town of Boxford for non-motorized recreational use. The grassy service is best navigated with mountain bikes and hiking boots.
The trail is a component of the developing Border to Boston Trail, which will one day span Essex County from Salisbury to Peabody. The entire planned route, including the Boxford Rail Trail, is also a crucial link in the East Coast Greenway, a gargantuan effort to establish a multi-use trail network stretching from Maine to Florida.
Parallel parking is permitted on both sides of the road at the trail entrances on Georgetown Road and Pond Street.
Nice spring walk-full sun, cleared path with side trails that are clearly marked (part of Camp Denison).
