Columbia Greenway RailTrail

Current Status

Columbia Greenway Status as of February 2014

The first section of the Columbia Greenway is now open providing 30 continuous miles of riding south into Connecticut. Trailhead parking is available at the Shaker Farms Country Club on Shaker Rd.

Construction of the second phase of the southern section is scheduled for Spring 2014 with completion by early Fall. This section will include 2 bridges, one crossing the Little River and the other over South Broad St.  This will bring the trail to East Silver St. in Westfield 1/4 mile south of Downtown, giving trail riders access to restaurants, Amelia Park Children's Museum, the Boys & Girls Club, the Westfield Athenaeum and other destinations.

A separate project, the reconstruction of Western Ave., now in its design phase will hopefully provide dedicated bicycle access to Stanley Park and the campus of Westfield State University.

Bicycle rentals and child trailer rentals are available at New Horizons Bikes
