We're in Massachusetts. Bicycling. The Mass Central Rail Trail is a 90+ mile proposed trail. It is complete only in a few sections like this 10 mile spot we bicycled. The future is to connect the Boston area to Northampton. When that is complete, it will connect with the Farmington Canal trail, all the way to Yale campus in New Haven CT. That trail is mostly complete and a great bicycling venue already. However, today we just rode this short section mostly through a white pine forest. This is a watershed so it does have its charm.
There were many wet areas, marshes and swampy spots. Those are something we don't see much of in central and western North Carolina. It appeared to be a nice birding area as well.
This is a typical trail scene. The tread way was in great condition. A few sandy spots do trip you up but otherwise this was a splendid ride.
