Amesbury’s Powwow Riverwalk
At 1.3-mile Amesbury Riverwalk is the shortest I have visited, combining it with Amesbury’s regenerated downtown and it is one of the loveliest. The trail head is on Water St where the old Salisbury Point Rail road depot has been planted. But it plans are to connect it with the Salisbury Point Ghost Train Trail and thus join the Border to Boston Trail and rest of Coastal Trails network.
Physically it’s a tad different a winding narrow paved path with a divider line, it runs along the c Powwow River and through some nice residential areas. But worth the walk as it ends at Carriagetown Marketplace. (out behind McDonalds.) The trail has been quite embraced by the community, places like the Riverwalk luxury Apartment count trail access as an amenity. On the day I went the folks from Amesbury Treasures the partnership of sixteen historic sites and museums were handing out walking tour maps at the Salisbury Point Railroad Historical Society’s Depot hangout.
