Gold St Trail

The trail continues on for another 2 miles or so and hooks up to the radio tower on the Mount Lincoln Trail.

This property is owned by UMass but they allow hikers to walk the trails. Dogs and biking are allowed here, but do not park directly in front of the service gates - you will get towed.
