The Manhan Rail Trail, well integrated into the local communities it serves, offers a pleasant ride or stroll. It conveniently weaves together parks, community points of interest, neighborhoods, and business centers.
Along this section in Easthampton, beginning at Millside Park and heading through town, you will encounter neighborhoods, trailside businesses, and community gardens. A wonderful mural is located across the trail from the former depot. It depicts the many faces and professions of the community and how railroad once served local commerce. There’s even a Little Free Library for a quick read. From the center of town the trail continues to the south for a little over a mile to where it ends at a small turnaround and rest stop at Coleman Road.
Of course there are also several geocaches to entertain you along this stretch. This cache is located at the parking area off Pleasant Street and offers a unique twist on the typical guardrail hide. Enjoy!
