caution sign The information on this page may be outdated as it was published 10 years ago.

Great news! The City of Cambridge, in partnership with the Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, has just purchased a significant portion of the former rail right of way known as the Watertown Branch, which runs from Concord Avenue by Fresh Pond, under Huron Avenue and into Watertown. A multi-use path will eventually be constructed and create a regional off-road connection from the Charles River to the Minuteman Bikeway. We will continue to update you on design and construction information.
