Bruce Freeman Rail Trail Parking Lot

"Love this place ! Miles of trail for the runner, skater, biker, or walker! Nice place to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors !"

"You can park here (@Cross Point) anytime. There is no parking enforcement from Cross Point. I have parked here in the middle of day during the week, 1am, not just weekends or holidays. Sometimes there is construction and portions of the lot are closed. The trail is not cleared of snow and ice. And some parts of the trail take longer to melt. If there is snow and ice in your yard, please expect some on the trail. The leaves are cleared in the fall. When the town of Chelmsford does maintenance, the trail is closed for days (sometimes weeks). Port-a-potties at Chelmsford Center and Heart Pond are available 1st Monday in April through November."

"Really nice rail trail for walking/cycling. Chelmsford Center to Acton is the nicer part with fewer cross roads and better scenery and right at 20 miles round trip. A little busy on weekends and parking in Chelmsford can be limited, you're better off using the parking area near Heart Pond or on 27 just west of 225 at those times."

"Nice place for a walk, run or bike ride. Some areas are uneven due to root growth and pushing the pavement up so it can make for a rough bike ride."

"good Rail-trail track. Lot of space to relax, bicycle and to skate. at Chelmsford, has to cross approx 300 metres highway to continue on rail-trail."
