Upper Falls Greenway

4.6(158)Newton Upper Falls, Newton MA

A flat, paved rail-trail through the old mill district, with public art and a mile of easy walking.

Built on an abandoned rail bed, the Greenway runs about a mile from Needham Street through the heart of the old industrial village, with murals, benches and interpretive signs along the way.

Fully paved and level, so it works for wheelchairs, strollers and scooters. Connects toward Hemlock Gorge at the north end for a longer outing.
