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.
Peaceful trail for biking and walking, passing through an area with graffiti-covered bridges.
What runners say about Quequechan River Rail Trail
“The paved path is well-maintained and perfect for all activity levels, whether you're out for a leisurely stroll or a more intense workout.”
“Beautiful wildlife especially in the spring through fall were you see the most amazing sights of water fowls.”
“It's amazing to have such a peaceful and scenic escape right here in the city.”
Nice little bike and walking trail showcasing some of the more beautiful parts of Fall River. The initial stretch by the pond has a good amount of goose poop you’ll have to avoid, as well as some noise from 195 that will remind you that you’re in an urban area, but as you keep going it does get more peaceful.
Saw lots of red winged black birds, heron, and even turtles! The Canadian geese were a bit annoying because ppl were feeding them. However the board walks here are very well made and I enjoyed Rollerblading the path. It wasn't too long for a rollerblade journey but still a cool spot to check out.
I took a walk on the trail between Eastern Avenue and Quequechan Street and I found it refreshing. Although surrounded by highway, I did not find the traffic sound objectionable. The graffiti lining the overpasses is interesting. It seems that lunchtime people stroll along the walkway.
Great hidden gem . Lots of history along the trail with terrific views
