Begin at Headquarters Parking Lot (P1) at 194 Cranberry Road, South Carver. From the southeast corner of the parking lot (the entrance to the parking lot), cross the gated foot bridge on your left and head up the paved road. The bike path will be on your left-hand side. Once you are on the paved bike trail, follow the signs at the intersections towards the East Entrance which is on Long Pond Road in Plymouth. You will cross a few automobile roads so cross with care. Once you reach the East Entrance, you can retrace your ride to return to the Headquarters parking lot

The trail will link to the Granite State Rail Trail in New Hampshire. Plans include rehabilitating three bridges, such as Merrimack Bridge, which will feature a rest area and scenic views. The project also involves ADA-compliant upgrades, safer crossings with rapid-flashing beacons, and secondary paths to connect nearby neighborhoods and amenities.

It includes some beautiful scenery: woodlands, a stream and a pond. The surface is now wheelchair accessible!

The Carlton Street footbridge provides a nice ramp over the Green Line tracks. Carlton Street itself does not have a dedicated bike lane, until north of Beacon street. There is then a nice contraflow route through the quiet Cottage Farm Historic District, which leads to the bike lanes on Comm Ave and the BU bridge.

Clinton is actively planning their section, including a 1,000-foot long tunnel, and potentially the Wachusett Reservoir dam and a new bridge as well. Given the development in Clinton and the relative ease of constructing this stretch, it might make sense to do it before taking on the more daunting Phase 2.

However, it also offers an exciting opportunity to connect with the Lester G. Ross Dam and the Aqueduct Trail, adding to the already impressive network of major connecting paths along the MCRT.

It meanders through quiet woods, alongside farmland, and near Marshfield's Fairgrounds and sand & gravel pits. The trail intersects several roads with clear markings and connects to Carolina Hill Reservation.
