The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail extends from the Lowell/Chelmsford line near Cross Point and Rt. 3, through Chelmsford Center, to the intersection of Route 27 and Route 225 in Westford. The trail continues south through Carlisle and Acton passing historical sites and conservation land. It traverses woods, wetlands, open fields, recreational areas, and shopping areas. The trail has a 10-foot wide pavement with a 2-foot wide packed shoulder on each side. The trail is 11.7 miles long (From Lowell to the current terminus in Acton). A section of the trail (2.5 miles) is now opened in Concord and will eventually connect to the Action Trail with a bridge (Phase 2B) over Route 2. Motorized vehicles are not allowed.
