The Salem Bike Path (also known as the Mayor Anthony Salvo Bike Path) is 1.8-mile paved trail, which provides a connection between the Marblehead Rail Trail and downtown Salem.
Located near the Marblehead/Salem town line on Lafayette Street (just north of Rosedale Rd), the southern end of the trail links with the Marblehead Rail Trail. If continuing south on the Marblehead Rail Trail, use caution when crossing busy MA 114/Lafayette Street.
From the southern trailhead, the route curves north through a mix of residential, commercial, and nature areas. The trail passes Pickman Park (in Jackson Field) and Salem State University. Paralleling an active rail corridor, the trail ends at Mill Street in downtown Salem. The MBTA Salem Station, Salem Old Town Hall, the harbor, and museums related to the witch trials are all close by.
Along with the Marblehead Rail Trail, the Salem Bike Path is part of the Border to Boston Trail, a developing trail network that will stretch 70 miles between the MA-NH state line and Boston. The Border to Boston Trail is itself a part of the East Coast Greenway, a connected network of trails that will stretch from Maine to Florida when complete.
There is no dedicated parking for this trail.
