December 9, 2023 – Assabet River Rail Trail (Hudson) – Massachusetts

Today Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Assabet River Trail in Maynard, Massachusetts. The Assabet River Rail Trail is approximately thirteen miles (upon completion) and runs from Acton to Marlborough.

We had a refreshing Adventure to the Assabet River Rail Trail. I was planning on heading out on a daytrip but due to some family matters decided to make it a local day. We parked in a formal parking lot for the trail, I believe on Main Street, as it was not too far from downtown Hudson. I was quite pleased as the sun was out, something not predicted by the weather report. The trail was very quiet with limited visitors, and I do not believe we saw a bike, which was quite nice. The trail was parallel to the road, but enough space that it was comfortable. We found little things along the route, including an old train, wooden carvings, a large mural, and some unique colors in various artwork. Both Wilma and Gus were quite enthusiastic, although Wilma did lay down for a quick nap along the way, and of course enjoyed her traditional rolls. Gus noticed every smell and on occasion appreciating jumping on Wilma because it is always time to play. It was a simple trail, but just the right way to start the weekend. We even received a “your dogs are so well behaved” compliment which always makes my day. So glad we could adventure to Assabet River Rail Trail in Hudson today (this blog will not be rated).

May 23, 2022 – Assabet River Rail Trail (Maynard) – Massachusetts

Today Wilma, Gus, My Mom, and I Adventured to the Assabet River Trail in Maynard, Massachusetts. The Assabet River Rail Trail is approximately thirteen miles (upon completion) and runs from Acton to Marlborough.

We had a green filled adventure to the Assabet River Trail in Maynard, Massachusetts. I had explored the Acton portion of the Trail previously and was looking forward to visiting another section. I looked at the Assabet River Trail map online and found the “Ice Pond” parking as indicated. We walked along the trail, which was overall very quiet, running along the Assabet River. The trail foliage was simple, but lovely, the sun streaming through the canopy of trees. Along our walk we found a beaver dam, some swans in the River, and enjoyed studying the various flowers and greenery on the Trail. There were many bikers, several solo walkers and numerous dog walkers. We saw one dog off leash, but were thankful that the owner was respectful and leashed his dog when he saw us walking toward him. Our walk was leisurely and just right on this gorgeous spring day. We definitely chose a scenic section of the Assabet Rail Trail today (Rating: 4).
