Ashuwillticook Rail Trail
A paved trail of about 18 km on a former railway, running along Cheshire Reservoir and the Housatonic River, with views of Mount Greylock.
The trail runs from Lanesborough in the south to Adams in the north. It is flat and suitable for cycling, walking and inline skating. It passes the shores of Cheshire Reservoir and wetlands, and in autumn you can see Mount Greylock and red foliage reflected in the lake. There are several parking areas and restrooms along the way, and the trail is free to use. Bikes can be rented in Pittsfield or Adams, and riding the full length takes about 1 to 1.5 hours one way.
