Blackstone Valley Rail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blackstone Valley Rail will eventually be a trail roughly following The Providence and Worcester Rail Road and the former Blackstone Canal between the two cities.

[edit] Description

This is not a true rail to trail project because the trail has not replaced the rails. Portions are finished, and in use, but the trail as a whole is far from finished.

A 3 mile portion in Millbury and Worcester, Massachusetts officially opened in 2005. A shorter but very scenic portion goes through Riverbend Farm State Park in Uxbridge.

Several long sections are also open in Rhode Island.
