The Tully Trail is a 22 mi (35 km) loop trail located in the towns of Royalston, Orange, and Warwick, Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border. The trail is considered particularly scenic. The route crosses several ledges with sweeping views of the surrounding rural countryside and passes three waterfalls (Royalston Falls, Spirit Falls, and Doane's Falls). Tully Mountain and Tully Lake are also located on the trail. The Tully Trail coincides briefly with the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail.

The Tully Trail is managed by the The Trustees of Reservations and by the Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust. Many key parcels along the trail route have been conserved by these non-profit organizations.
