Mission

Squannacook Greenways' goal is to build, maintain, and promote the Squannacook River Rail Trail (SRRT) as a source of recreation and safe non-motorized transportation. The Squannacook River Rail Trail is a proposed conversion of approximately 3.7 miles of abandoned railroad in Townsend and Groton Massachusetts into a recreational trail based on the successful model of the Wachusett Greenways. The stone dust trail will provide a safe alternative to bike-unfriendly Route 119 and an enjoyable route for human-powered travel between important natural, historic, and cultural landmarks. The SRRT has potential to become a long-distance trail extending to the Nashua River Rail Trail in Ayer, Massachusetts and to the Mason-Greenville Railroad Trail in New Hampshire. This rail trail would be used by the public without fees, as specified in Article II of our articles of incorporation.

Program accomplishments

  • Construction of the fourth of four phases of the Squannacook River Rail Trail was completed in spring 2023, with a total of 3.7 miles open. The rail trail has already become a beloved part of the area. A large opening ceremony was held June 1, 2024, attended by hundreds of people and our state representatives. The trail continues to be deeply beloved by the community. In 2025, in addition to maintaining the existing trail, we also started planning for extensions to both ends of the trail. We won a grant and signed contracts with engineering firms.
