Description: Roughly 5 miles of new singletrack added to the existing trail system originally
consisting of a couple miles of old carriage rd and doubletrack by the Merrimack
Valley NEMBA chapter. Russell Mill now sports 7 miles of trails ridden in one
direction with enough connector trails that easily allow much of the system to
be ridden forwards and backwards giving the potential for a 10 to 12 mile ride
just at this site. Trail design ensures the ability to have enough of a different
riding experience doing the same trail in reverse and makes it easy to do so.
Along with the trails there is a pump track on site.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by Fitch on September 6, 2011
This is some killer riding in Massachusetts. The ground itself is relatively smooth, but the layout of the trails allows natural features (logs, rocks, etc) to really spice up the ride withs some technical challenges. There are a few big hit placements if that's your thing, and the trails are easy to follow and the markings are great. Kudos to NEMBA and the local riders for making this place such a haven!

Amazing pristine trails!! Trails are color coded and easy to follow. Big thanks to the folks maintaining them! Great use of natural features (boulders, log rides, and wall crossings - Orange) to add some technical challenge here and there. There is some super tight twisty stuff out there (Yellow). A lot of fun to be had for sure. The pump track is a sweet addition as well.

Great trail, I ride here on a daily basis. Its right near my house and ideal for when I don't have a lot of time. Maintained by some real great people! nice technical areas. Good stunts for beginners to learn on, and some advanced stunts for avid riders. Nice downhills. Give the yellow trail a go!

Great singletrack! Trails are well built, well maintained, and well marked. Some great flow. Technical features added to mix it up. And the pump track is a sweet bonus!
