Reviewed 2026-10-22. Town conservation commission describes just over four miles of paved multipurpose trail with river views and designated access points. Its wider network/any proposed connection is not an uninterrupted four-mile one-way promise from this start. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
