Built along the former Bay Colony Railroad line, the Medfield Rail Trail stretches between Ice House Road in the Town of Medfield to the town's border with Dover. Running primarily through woods, the 1.3-mile trail crosses the North Brook and is open for walking, running, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Generally 10-feet-wide, the trail is flat and smooth with a surface of reclaimed asphalt topped by a layer of stone dust. Dogs on leashes are welcome.
The trail is part of a trail system called the Bay Colony Rail Trail.The Needham Rail Trail and the Upper Falls Greenway are also part of the Bay Colony Rail Trail.
Parking is available in a dirt lot across from the western entrance of the trail on Ice House Road, and along Farm Street near the eastern end of the trail.
Easy walk but the trail is not paved on the Medfield side; perfect if you want to minimize the impact on your knees
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.
