A nice part of the trail

This section of the Mass Central Rail Trail passes under the interstate bridge built to cross the Quinapoxet River. There is some greenery surrounding the path, and it looks up towards the bridge way above.

The second-largest water body in Massachusetts, the Wachusett Reservoir is as beautiful as it is huge. It can hold a whopping 65 billion US gallons of water. The Quinapoxet and Stillwater rivers and the Quabbin Aqueduct feed into the reservoir. Bear in mind that camping and swimming isn't allowed in some places around the reservoir.

This trail is part of a planned 104 mile path from Boston to Northampton. It is laid over an old rail bed that was destroyed during a hurricane in 1938. This section is mostly hard packed crushed stone that is great for biking, running and walking. There are some short segments of grassy double track.

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.

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.

Thayer Pond is a pretty big body of water for a pond, and it's just off the side of the Mass Central Rail Trail. You get good views of the water through the trees, and there are a couple of clearings with open views of the pond.

The Ware River Diversion Dam helps control the flow of water from the Quabbin Aqueduct into the Ware River. This is a really cool looking structure that you can see from the side of the trail.
