What distinguishes this project as a unique, high-quality recreational experience for the visitors and residents of Massachusetts?

This project is a unique high-quality recreational experience because it allows users to visit three diverse communities on the South Shore. Trail users can experience a quintessential New England journey through the natural beauty of woods and wetlands, historic village centers, and suburban post-industrial town settings while enjoying the natural and cultural wealth of Massachusetts and spending time outdoors. The Hanover Branch Rail Trail is an iconic multi-community project that provides direct pedestrian connections between our historic village centers, commerce centers, school campuses, and local recreation areas located along the rail line.
