Confirmed from Northern Strand Greenway Trailhead'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.
What runners say about Northern Strand Greenway Trailhead
One of the best bike paths on the North Shore! A decent length from end to end with plenty of spots to stop along the way in Malden, Everett, Saugus, Revere, or Lynn. You could get on this path and head to either Boston or the beach, depending on which direction you go in.
Trail is great and well-used. There are no connections from this terminus and you must turn around. Only brave cyclists and walkers can walk across this railroad bridge and walk down the embankment to Bennett Street.
This trail is very very good peaceful great Scenery not to busy and the people are friendly , just say morning , worth the drive to relax the mined..
Took my e-scooter out for the first time from Everett to Lynn. Gorgeous & direct route to the sea!
