The Swift River Green Belt Trail in Bondsville, Massachusetts is an easy 1.9-mile out-and-back trail that runs along the banks of the Swift River.

The hiking trail follows the swift river for the entire distance, weaving among trees and dipping up and down across old water drains. The trail follows the train tracks and back into the woods just before the Bike Park.

This park offers what seems to be 2 main trails - there is a quarter-mile, universal access trail with benches, lookouts and a covered table area, and a main hiking trail as well. The hiking trail seems to start from the parking lot and heads southwest at a total of 1.8-miles according to the kiosk. The trail also seems to extend just beyond the universal access trail as well.

Along the hiking trail there are some notable places to fish and swim, along with a section for biking as well (Bike Park, as labeled on the map - see these pictures). Both trails are very clean and well maintained over all. There is one section just off the access trail, a small beach like area that does have a fair amount of broken glass and other things, swimming is not recommended here.

Higher resolution map available here.

Parking: There is a small parking area at the trailhead and parking is available on the cul-de-sac as well.

Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out with the hiker.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
