Confirmed from Blackstone River Greenway's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

A nice biking trail. We started from here and went up to trains bridge and came back. We almost spent 2 hrs. Very good experience through out. Actual length would be around 3.5 miles but we covered around 2.25 mile. For us it was fine summer morning. The entire path is well maintained and nice people around.
The Blackstone River Greenway is a well-built, well-paved and beautiful bikeway! The wide, paved surface, built on the old rail line makes work comfortable riding (or walking) for people of all abilities.
Great bike path! Flat, well paved and a great experience. Beautiful views! About 7 1/2 miles round trip. Love it here
