Seeks public input on future of trail

The Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail will host a meeting to gather and discuss ideas for future trail improvements and activities. The committee invites community members to share their creative ideas for enhancing the Trail experience, including safety and beautification, expanding access and educational enrichment, and activities that build community and connection. 

The Friends of the Milford Upper Trail “Vision 2026 and Beyond” meeting will be held on Feb. 18 at the Milford Library at 7 p.m. Join us as we celebrate the first 20 years of this recreational gem in our town and work toward an even brighter future.

About the Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail

The Friends of the Milford Upper Charles Trail is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization that for 20 years has promoted the safe use and maintenance of the Milford section of the Upper Charles Trail. It coordinates with several Town of Milford boards to address maintenance issues and enhance the overall trail experience for the community.

The Upper Charles Trail is a proposed 25-mile rail trail that will ultimately connect Milford, Ashland, Sherborn, Holliston, and Hopkinton. Milford was the first town to open a complete section, which extends 6.58 miles from the Milford Senior Center north to the Hopkinton town line and east to the town of Holliston. There, it joins the Holliston section of the trail that continues to Sherborn.
