Take Your Own Trail Walk: Narrow Gauge Rail Trail, by Clem Larson, Bedford Trails Committee

[Bedford Trail Walks]



One of the nicest and easiest trails in Bedford, the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail (NGRT) follows the railbed of what was once the Billerica & Bedford Railroad, built in 1877. For the history of this unique rail trail, please see the Bedford Citizen article “Bedford Explained ~ A Narrow Gauge Railroad Once Connected Bedford and Billerica” by Jim Shea, Friends of Bedford Depot Park, at--https://www.thebedfordcitizen.org/2020/08/bedford-explained-a-narrow-gauge-railroad-once-connected-bedford-and-billerica/. 

The Narrow Gauge Rail Trail starts on Loomis St. about 50 yards east of the Depot Park, and goes north past The Great Road, York Conservation Area, Fawn Lake, the Lane School, Bueller Ponds, Wilderness Conservation Area, and ends in Billerica. The trail is popular with walkers, joggers, casual bikers, dog walkers and students.
