Confirmed from Quequechan River Rail Trail'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.
Recreation area featuring a path for walking and biking, as well as abundant waterfowl.
What runners say about Quequechan River Rail Trail
“However some people just dont know how to keep things clean!”
“Beautiful trail , many different ways to enter and exit… autumn 🍂 foliage is beautiful this time of year!”
The trail is full of beauty. A Great asset to Fall River. I hope you enjoy the pictures. A few of these have hidden things without really knowing. Such as the shedded snake skin picture. The crooked weed picture. The small cedar picture. The threatening broken limb picture. The threatening birch tree limb..
We saw a snapping turtle today. 2½ ft or so in diameter. Also a muskrat on shore munching on some leaves. My Wife and kids and I always have a nice time walking here.
Decent fishing and a great trail for walking and getting some fresh air. Plenty of ducks and geese to see as well !
Pretty trail in a vacuum, but plenty of graffiti and some homelessness scattered throughout. Well maintained
