The Neponset River forms Boston's southern border with Quincy and Milton.
In addition to the mills left from its history as an industrial center,
many scenic vistas remain.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) MassParks owns much of the shoreline as the Neponset River Reservation.
Events along the TrailSunday, October 16, 2022, 1:00 pm: Bike Ride South from the Neponset TrailAfter meeting at 1:00 pm at Paul's Bridge at the Milton/Readville line, we'll follow the Neponset River south on its east side to its East Branch in Canton and the 185-year-old Canton Viaduct, which still carries Amtrak over the river on its way south to New York from Boston. On our way south, we'll take a detour to Signal Hill, on the River south of Rt. 128 and west of I-95, and on the way back, we'll detour on a gravel path which used to be a runway at the old Canton Airport, which could easily connect with Signal Hill if it weren't for I-95. We'll bike back to Pauls Bridge through Norwood, Westwood, Dedham, and the Readville neighborhood of Boston, where we'll stop to check out Helmets are required. Bring a mask if you wish to wear one when inside a building or close to others. Heavy rain will cancel. Ride With GPS Map
