4⭐ Canalside Rail Trail, Turners Falls MA
www.trailspotting.com/2025/10/cana...
Ride through 200 years of industrial heritage along this picturesque rail trail route.

#Massachusetts #RailTrail #RailsToTrails #Outdoors #Abandoned #Rust #Canal #Cycling #Bicycle #Trail #Trails #History #NewEngland
A paved riverside path curves gently alongside a calm canal, bordered by a black metal fence and lined with trees in early autumn foliage. On the opposite bank, a row of historic red-brick industrial buildings with tall windows and chimneys stands in contrast to the natural setting. Forested hills rise in the background beneath a clear blue sky, while power lines stretch overhead, hinting at the area's blend of heritage and utility. A weathered red-brick industrial complex stands behind a prominent water tower. Some windows are broken or boarded up, hinting at the site's age and partial abandonment. A white truck is parked near the paved road in front, while trees with autumn foliage surround the buildings under a bright blue sky. A first-person view from a cyclist riding along a paved forest path blanketed with fallen autumn leaves. Tall trees with golden and orange foliage line both sides of the trail, and sunlight filters through the canopy, casting soft shadows. The rider’s right hand grips the handlebar, while a small rear-view mirror is mounted on the left, adding a personal touch to the tranquil fall scene. The rear end of a rusted train car sits idle on a short stretch of track in a wooded area, its surface covered in colorful graffiti. Autumn trees surround the scene, and a dirt path runs parallel to the tracks. In the background, a cyclist rides through the forest, adding a touch of motion to the otherwise quiet, sunlit setting.

A compact black and red train engine play structure sits on a bed of wood chips within a shaded, wooded area. The engine features a large front grill, a bell mounted above, and the number “10” painted on its side. It's clearly decorative, designed for children or themed ambiance rather than function. In the background, a paved path curves through green grass and dense trees. A peaceful public park features a wide brick walkway paralleled by a narrower asphalt path. Lampposts line the route beneath leafy trees that offer shade. To the right, a modern sculpture resembling sail shapes stands prominently near picnic tables and benches. In the distance, visitors stroll and enjoy the space, with a marina and docked boats visible to the left. A tranquil marina scene shows several boats docked along a wooden pier that stretches into the water. The pier features lampposts and benches, with a few people leisurely strolling along it. Lush greenery and trees border the left side, while the boats moor to the right, floating calmly in the clear water. Above, a cloudless blue sky completes the peaceful waterfront atmosphere. A whimsical marine-themed installation features a large stylized anglerfish sculpture mounted on a textured stone wall. The fish’s bulging eyes, toothy grin, and arched lure convey playful exaggeration. Surrounding it are bright red crab and curled seahorse sculptures, alongside coral-like accents that suggest an imaginative underwater scene. Dim reddish-purple lighting casts dramatic shadows across the stonework, amplifying the surreal ambiance and anchoring the scene in a theatrical, cave-like setting.

🚂 La ruta del tren fue convertida a carreteras en ciertos tramos, por lo que se podrían rediseñar para incorporar Ruta Borinquen.

Silhouette of a black bird with red and pale yellow patches on the top of its wings. It's eating seeds while perched on dry branches that make distinct lines against a bright green background.

I wrote about the #RailstoTrails Conservancy's December 2024 Trail of the Month, Central Indiana's #MononTrail. This trail project has been a game-changer for the surrounding communities, but there's also a darker aspect about its construction few know about.

The Henry Hudson Trail crosses Routes 34 and 35 on railroad trestles. The county owns the bridge over Rte 35 and will paint it by next summer. The Rte 34 bridge is a NJDOT matter. #monmouthcountynj #parks #railroad #henryhudsontrail #railstotrails #njtransit #matawannj #keyportnj #aberdeennj #njdot

New Hampshire's northernmost rail trail is a scenic delight, particulary as its location on the edge of the Connecticut River basin affords wide and spectacular river scenes with a distant mountain backdrop
