Cheshire Rail Trail Details

Mountain bikers will love this fun and scenic trail that runs for 32.9 miles between Walpole and Fitzwilliam. The first part of the trail is not too challenging, with hard-packed gravel that is mostly wide and flat. However, the scenery and trail surface change, and soon you will be cycling through the wooded forests up steep hills and around boulders. The second segment of the trail goes back to being a smooth ride, with less challenging terrain to ride. There are a few towns along the way where you can stop for a water or lunch break. The town of Troy is one of your last stops before heading towards the remote outskirts where the trail ends.
