The Canalside Rail Trail is a 3.8-mile (6.1 km) trail, partially on old railroad beds, from East Deerfield, to Turners Falls, Montague, Massachusetts. A short portion of the trail runs along town streets, but the majority is on a paved trail from which motor vehicles are prohibited. The northern terminus is Unity Park, on Barton's Cove, in Turners Falls. The southernmost portion crosses the Connecticut River on the Canalside Rail Trail Bridge[1] and ends at McClelland Farm Road in Deerfield.[2] The trail was completed in spring 2008.
