Current access at Cheshire Lake in Cheshire, at the Berkshire Mall in Lanesborough, and in Adams.
An 11.2-mile trail (once a former rail bed) that is fairly flat for an easy ride. The Massachusetts State Park System extends from Cheshire to Adams. There are beautiful vistas (a good leg of the trail is on Cheshire Lake) with potentially great views of fall foliage and mountainscapes. Obviously, all the rail trails can be used for jogging, walking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. To rent a bike call Berkshire Outfiters in Adams at (413) 743-5900.
