The Upper Charles Trail is a joint privately/publicly funded project to convert a 27-mile abandoned railbed across five communities into a scenic recreational trail for bicycling, walking, cross-country skiing, roller-blading, and other non-motorized uses. The Town of Hopkinton’s Upper Charles Trail Committee (UCTC) hired a student team from the Conway School to inventory the physical and environmental conditions along the railbed, and provide recommendations for multi-use trail routes while highlighting the opportunities that each trail provides to Hopkinton and the broader Upper Charles network.
