Friends of Mattapoisett Rail Trail Newsletter
The Mattapoisett Bike Path Committee was established more than twenty years ago. Shortly after, the Friends of the Mattapoisett Bicycle and Recreational Path was established. The Friends support the completion of the bike path, stay informed, get out the vote when necessary, and raise money for design and other items the town government cannot fund.
The proposed 4.5 mile multi-use path runs along the shore of Buzzards Bay, through our historic small town, and into quiet wooded areas in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Currently, only a one mile section of the path (Phase 1A) from the Fairhaven town line to Mattapoisett Neck Road is complete. The next phase (Phase 1B) broke ground September 2019! This mile, called “Shining Tides", will be scenic and spectacular, crossing the Mattapoisett River estuary, salt marshes, and Town Beach at the head of Mattapoisett Harbor.
Two more phases will complete the path. The 1½ mile “Mattapoisett-Marion Connector” (Phase 2B) will connect us to the Town of Marion’s anticipated bike pathway. The final
phase (Phase 2A), which crosses Route 6 and ends at North Street, will wrap it up!
