Walking & Biking Trails
Stroll the neighborhood sidewalks within the community or opt to venture off in one of many abutting nature trails with easy access from the community sidewalk system. Walk for miles...enjoying nature...birdwatch, find that favorite picnic spot, fish, admire the rugged beauty and the value of the historical quarries, walk the old rail line paths, and enjoy the peacefulness of a secluded pine knoll to collect ones thoughts.
Take your bike out of the garage and enjoy easy access to the completed 2.8 mile Phase 1of the Milford Upper Charles Trail which runs from downtown Milford to Deer Street near the I-495 interchange. Visit www.milfordtrail.org for complete information. Phase 2A which will run from the I-495 area intersection to the Hopkinton town line is in the engineering and development stage, along with Phase 2B which will connect from downtown Milford to the Holliston town line. Visit www.uppercharlestrail.org for complete information on the progress of the proposed 27 mile trail that will form a loop through Framingham, Ashland, Sherborn, Holliston, Milford and Hopkinton.
The Milford segment (" Milford Upper Charles Trail") is approximately 6.4 miles long and runs through Milford from the Holliston town line to the Hopkinton town line. It will allow people to conveniently access recreation and conservation areas, schools, local businesses, town offices, and provide a non-motorized transportation corridor to other towns in the region. In addition to providing safe and convenient transportation, the project will offer families, seniors, walkers, bicyclists, joggers and others a range of recreational and educational opportunities, while protecting and preserving the town's available open space, scenic vistas and wildlife.
For the mountain biker enthusiasts who enjoy a challenge, within a few minute bike ride, hit the 50+ acres of the New England Mountain Bikers mountain bike trail site, one of the most popular mountain biking hot spots in the state.
