Mass Central Rail Trail - Wachusett Greenways section

Great trail system, well maintained and typically not a lot of people

Good for morning bike ride a total of 17 miles with about 500ft elevation gain. Scenic trail all along with few highway intersections, please be careful 🙏

Beautiful nature, very peaceful. We crossed paths with handful of people running/biking. This trail is baby stroller accessible and highly recommend for families! Parking lot is pretty small, maybe 8 cars.

Great biking trail, lots of scenery along the way. There us a slight incline heading in one direction, just enough to get in a bit of a workout.

One of my favorite places. A quick 17 miler from Glenwood Ave to the Barre pump station and back. Views are spectacular and trail is a great way to end the week

This trail is awesome. No pot holes,nice scenery . Recomend it to everyone

For the first time, I parked here to ride my bicycle on the trail. It is mostly level and in good condition but not paved. Usually I park on Miles Road which this section connects to.

Great gravel trails for all sort of riders. There are also single tracks and more advanced trails for those that want to adventure in the terrain.

The section of the Mass Central Rail Trail under the stewardship of Wachusett Greenways is ideal for a wide range of non-motorized recreational opportunities -- walking, running, cycling, XC skiing, birding, fishing, and much more. It can be an especially rewarding place to introduce children to the wonders of nature, our local heritage, biking, XC skiing, and more in an off-road, safe setting. Because it's built primarily on a long-abandoned rail bed, it is nearly flat in most sections, which can be a boon for youngsters, seniors and people with disabilities, including wheelchair users. Off-road parking is provided in many convenient locations adjacent the trail. Dogs are permitted on much of the trail. Wachusett Greenways -- an all-volunteer nonprofit -- has overseen development and maintenance of the trail for 25 years, keeping every one of these 20 miles (and counting) in pristine condition year-round. Frequently when I go to the trail, I hear newcomers remark how beautiful it is. Highly recommended!

The rail trail is great. My wife and I love taking our pup for a stroll. The trail is a great alternative when the pavement is far too hot to go on lengthy walks.

Beautiful route through forest and wetlands on packed stone dust trail, bike tires at least 25mm (1.0 inch) and with some tread preferred. Slopes gradually downhill westbound.

Beautiful scenery and well maintained trail for biking, walking, etc. Rode about 12 miles and only encountered two other bikers and a handful of walkers.

A favorite place of mine to bike. Beautiful and tranquil, wheather walking or biking. Great times are mid spring when flowers are on bloom or fall with the changing leaves

Trail is gravel great for biking walking and also to bring your dogs

This trail is possibly one of my favorites due to its length, variety of scenery and endless ways to enjoy through all 4 seasons!

The Rail Trail is family friendly, safe and beautiful. Only the West Boylston side is open for dog walking.

I work close by and take my bike along the trail a lot. It's a really nice ride, not very crowded & I love the scenery.

Beautiful ravine, nice state park / picnic area. Good rail trail for biking, walking

Nice walk with the kids. Easy for strollers with large wheels. Lots of wildlife. Wear bug spray!!!!

Very smooth stone dust trail through beautiful woods, wetlands, ponds, and along the river, well-maintained by volunteers.
