We'd like to thank all our supporters,

especially those who donated to the design fund

or

who voted "yes" for bike path articles at the May and November 2009 Town Meetings.

 Read about the need for more funds on the "Current Status" page.

This informational site was established by the Friends of the Mattapoisett Bicycle and Recreational Trail.  We are a non-profit organization working hard to get the path built.  We provide information about the path's status. We also raise money for trail enhancements and assisting with construction costs.

What is the Mattapoisett Rail Trail?

The Mattapoisett Rail Trail is part of a South Coast regional project on the Old Colony Railroad right of way.  It is a car-free recreational path for users of all ages and abilities. When all phases of the Mattapoisett section are complete, the path will connect Fairhaven's 3.5 mile Phoenix Bike Trail to a bike path network planned for Marion and Wareham. With the new mile, the path is 4.5 miles long.

 

Bikers, Walkers, Joggers, even skiers and snow shoers are welcome on the trail!
