What is the proposed Bay Colony Rail Trail?

The Bay Colony Rail Trail project aims to convert the abandoned rail corridor between Needham and Medfield to a new multi-use greenway. The path will provide a safe and natural facility for hiking, walking, running, biking, cross-country skiing, and other recreational activities.
The proposed trial will extend for 7 miles through the towns of Needham, Dover and Medfield.  (See map.)

Needham

On July 23, a misty Thursday afternoon at Red Wing Bay in Needham, the Bay Colony Rail Trail project took an important step toward becoming a reality. In spite of the inclement conditions, twenty people converged on the site to discuss the process and prospects for converting an unused rail corridor to a rail trail.

In attendance were officials from Needham, Dover and Medfield, members from local organizations such as Needham Bikes, Bike Newton, the Newton Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force, two Massachusetts-based national experts on rail trails, and representatives from state agencies such as Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR).
