You Can Make Your Escape On Your Bike
The region features several excellent bike trails.
As the weather cools, the leaves color and the days grow shorter, many of us are trying to make the most of the outdoors before the leaves leave.
October will soon bring colorful trees and crisp sights to enjoy. Want to enjoy the fresh air and scenic views while keeping warm? Why not head out on a bicycle for some exercise, stress relief while taking in the vibrant landscape.
Lowell offers a 6.8 mile bike path that follows along the old New Haven Railroad Framingham & Lowell Line through the communities of Lowell, Chelmsford, and Westford. Just recently completed, the Bruce Freeman trail offers a relatively uninterrupted ride on its newly paved and gently rolling terrain. Flanked by large trees and passing by Heart Pond, the path offers a peaceful cruise.
