Mass Trail Tracker

Welcome

This page allows you to suggest edits to the map data!
You'll be able to see your edits throughout the site, but they won't be visible to anyone else until I approve them.

How things are organized:

Trails are collections of smaller parts called segments.
Segments can belong to multiple trails.
Both trails and segments can have names, descriptions, and links.
Segments can have timeline events, which can be shared across multiple segments.

Examples of segments with detailed information:

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.

270	Phase 3 - Berlin Rail Trail	This phase will connect West Berlin to Clinton. 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.	Berlin Rail Trail Mass Central Rail Trail	proposed
271	Phase 2 - Berlin Rail Trail	This section presents unique challenges, following an uncertain path and navigating the complex Five Corners intersection, where only remnants of the old railroad bridge remain. 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.
