Ashuwillticook Rail Trail Overview
 The
Ashuwillticook Rail Trail is an 11 mile rail trail that goes
from Adams, Massachusetts south roughly following along Route
8 to Lanesboro, Massachusetts. The trail goes through the
Hoosic River Valley between the Hoosac Range and Mt. Greylock
and offers many pleasant water views along the way.
The Ashuwillticook
Rail Trail is completely paved and has ample access points
and a few restrooms along the route.
According
to the state web site for the trail, the name Ashuwillticook
(ash-oo-will-ti-cook) comes from the Native American word
for the south branch of the Hoosic River and literally means
"at the in-between pleasant river," or in common
tongue, "the pleasant river in between the hills."
