Need to Know

Small parking area off of Walnut Hill Rd

Description

From the Town of Amherst Website "The B & M Trail is named for the Boston & Maine RR which constructed this short-lived branch line to preclude another corporation from capturing the Amherst and Milford market. The trail offers a level walking or XC skiing experience nearly unique in Amherst.

It shows the efforts railroad constructors had to muster even in these flat lands. Part of this right of way is on privately owned land, and the trail has been closed off at about the 1 mile mark. The trail can only be entered now from the north end. The north end is on Walnut Hill Road near the junction with Clark Island Road where limited parking is possible."

Flora & Fauna

There are plenty of signs of horses...watch your step.
