Mattapoisett currently has a one mile section of the South Coast Bikeway complete from the Fairhaven town line to Mattapoisett Neck Road.   The town has an active Bike Path Committee that meets the 2nd Thursday of every month at Town Hall 7:30 PM.  The town also has an active Friends group that promotes the bike path and sponsors fundraisers.   (Address: PO Box 1336  Mattapoisett, MA 02739)

Phase two of Mattapoisett portion will connect the path from Mattapoisett Neck Road to Depot Street in the "Village". 
This portion is currently approaching the permitting phase.  
 
A spectacular preview of the project can be had by leaving your bicycle at the end of the paved bike path, crossing Mattapoisett Neck Road  and walking down the wooded right of way for 1/4 mile.  You won't be disappointed.  The bridge across the Mattapoisett river was widened in 2010 by students of Old Colony Regional Vocational High School. It gives spectacular views of the Mattapoisett River Estuary.
