Local Trail Connections
Following the old New Haven Railroad Framingham and Lowell Line, the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail will run through Lowell, Chelmsford, Westford, Carlisle, Acton, Concord, Sudbury, and Framingham.
In partnership with the Friends of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, the Bay Circuit Trail, and the City of Lowell, the Trust is working to connect the Lowell end of the BFRT with the Concord River Greenway. Not only will this further connect surrounding communities with Lowell, but this will close critical gaps in the 200-mile Bay Circuit Trail (which also includes the BFRT). Contact us if you have any questions about this continuing project.
