Dedicated as the “World War II Veterans Memorial Trail” in honor of soldiers who defended our Country.
The trail provides a multi-purpose recreational trail within the Town of Mansfield and provides bicycle access to town facilities and recreational areas. The off-road portion is a shared-use path along the former Old Colony Railroad Right of Way from *41 East Street to *395 Fruit Street. This 2 mile shared-use path consists of a 3 foot grass shoulder along the westside, a 10 foot asphalt paved multi-use trail and a 5 foot graded dirt shoulder along the east side for horses. The remaining portion of the top of the Rail Road embankment is cleared of underbrush. Also included is a small parking area for five cars within the former Old Colony Railroad Right of Way near 395 Fruit Street.

Great post and great blog. I wish we had a running path like that near where I live in Houston, but I am confined to sidewalks and streets for the most part.
If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles. I have a categorized and searchable running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it. There is also a link from the home page to link your running club to our site. Thanks!
