Depending on the route you take last part of the trail can be considered a moderate hike.

Short bike and walk to a place where I was young and innocent. Spent decades out here on four wheelers and hiking.

A nice part of the trail

The northern section of the Air Line Trail is particularly captivating, featuring an old bridge and the intriguing "Hermit Cave," and culminating at the tri-point marker where Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island meet. This boundary is identified by a 4-foot granite monument (with an additional 5 feet underground) situated in a small hilltop clearing. The marker, 14 inches square with a 6-inch pyramidal top, is inscribed with "MASS 1883" on the north side, "R.I. 1883" on the south, and "CONN" on the west—Connecticut's side lacks a date due to disagreements over the boundary. This monument was installed by a commission from Massachusetts and Rhode Island in late 1883.

The entire northern border of the lake consists of the Ashland Reservoir Dam. It controls the flow of Cold Spring Brook into the lake, and you can even hike across the dam on the wide, dirt trail.

Thayer Pond WMA is a 131-acre outdoor playground with the Central Mass Rail Trail running through it. You can enjoy wildlife viewing, hunting, and fishing in this natural landscape. The eastern part of the preserve is home to Thayer Pond, while the western part has a mixed hardwood forest with gray foxes and squirrels. Mill Brook flows through it, where you can spot several beaver impoundments along its banks.

Dublin Pond, also known as Dublin Lake, encompasses 236 acres and is situated in Cheshire County in southwestern New Hampshire, USA, within the town of Dublin. Positioned at an elevation of 1,480 feet (451 m) above sea level, this tranquil body of water offers a serene natural setting. At this height above sea level it can get rather icy in the winter.

The Barre Falls Dam is not just a dam. You will find many recreational opportunities within the wetlands and forests such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing and canoeing. There are even picnic shelters you can rent. If you like to hike take the 5-mile loop near Hubbardston.
