• Adding artistic touches to the Bruce Freedman Rail Trail
“Trails like the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail provide opportunities for transportation, recreation, and interaction with nature. Such trails can also provide opportunities for art. Sometimes artwork is designed with the trail. Such is the case with the bicycle rack and bench at an overlook on the Nashua River Rail Trail.”
I started a little late to do the entire 12.5-miles, it is deceptively easy to go just a little further and then a little further than that. But it is deliciously straight and level, passing through everything from farms and wetlands to downtown Pepperell. The smell of freshly cut hay and farmlands are an added bonus.
The Massachusetts part of the trail goes through Ayer, Groton, Pepperell and Dunstable, and is managed by the Mass Department of Conservation and Recreation. It is in exemplary condition save for a few frost heave cracks.
The northern section of the Nashua River Rail Trail continues into the city of Nashua and connects with the Mine Falls Park their 325 acre recreation park.
