Assabet River Rail Trail - East Hudson Trailhead

Christopher Simpson

Awesome bike trail. Only about 10 miles so really doable. Recommend starting at the Hudson trailhead. It's uphill all the way to Marlborough, but then you basically coast back.

The rail trail goes from Hudson to Marlboro, just over 5 miles one way. From Hudson to Marlboro is mostly uphill. Not steep just enough so that you know you're peddling up hill. The return trip, it goes to reason, is downhill. For recreational bikers , it is best to start in Hudson so that you have the energy to peddle uphill then coast on the return.

There’s a lot of shade and the trail is quite long, unfortunately you do have to cross the road frequently but it’s not too much of a hassle

love travel

80% shade. Cross 3 busy Street. It only 5.3 miles 1way but hilly in beginning. Beautiful views but trail is bumpy.
