The Clipper City Rail Trail connects the MBTA commuter rail station to the Harborwalk along the waterfront.

A newer section follows the bank of the Merrimack River to Water Street and connects through the South End under High Street to Parker Street in Newbury.

There is a whole network of trails of which this small trail is a part of. Salisbury has recently extended their Eastern trail to the NH border, an easier route was made under 495 to connect to downtown Amesbury, and the new I-95 bridge of the Merrimac has a long trail next to it. Great area for biking- keep up the good work greater Newburyport!
