Our friends at the Hudson Massachusetts Police Department will be out on the Assabet River Rail Trail this Saturday, August 8, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM promoting safe riding for all. Hudson Police Officers and Community Service Officers (CSOs) will be handing out free bike and e-bike safety guides with information on:

✅ Massachusetts e-bike laws
✅ Safe riding tips
✅ Trail etiquette
✅ How we can all help keep our shared paths safe

Our Rail Trails, both the MCRT and the ARRT, provide safe, accessible, and welcoming spaces for both passive and active recreation. Whether you enjoy walking, biking, bird‑watching, walking the dog (or petting all of the dogs!) or simply spending time outdoors, these trails connect people of all ages and abilities to nature, to each other, and to the broader community. Rail Trails are truly for everyone offering opportunities to explore, exercise, relax, and enjoy these shared resources. Let's share them together!
