Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State park

Trail Description:
This flat ride is ideal for beginners, but offers just enough to keep other riders entertained when looking for an easy day. The trail starts in Uxbridge and goes through Northbridge.

How to get there:
coming from Rhode Island, I take 146 north to the Rte. 16 exit. Right off exit and follow to the city. Take a right and then a left on side street. Trail starts behind the Stanley Woolen Mill.

Additional Notes:
Maps can be found at the Visitors Center on Oak St.

Once you get to the far end of the canal by the medical center, cross the road. There are trials on both sides of the canal including some challenging climbs to Lookout Rock or up Goat Hill. There are 3 or 4 narrow bridge crossing, a windy section thru the woods that is also good. You can cross Rt 122 by the Sewage plant and ride some more technical stuff. There are 15 - 20 miles of trails.

This is a nice ride. Some parts are right next to a river making it a soothing ride. Not very challenging.
