Appleton Farms Grass Rides, Historic park trails in Hamilton, United States
Appleton Farms Grass Rides features 5.5 miles of grassy paths connecting through forests, open fields, and wetlands across 1,000 acres of protected land.
The paths were established by the Appleton family on their 1630s farmland, making it part of one of the oldest operating agricultural properties in the United States.
The grass avenues serve as essential connections in both the Bay Circuit Trail and the Discover Hamilton Trail, linking multiple recreational paths in Massachusetts.
Visitors can access the trails daily until sunset, with parking for 20 cars, requiring a Green Dogs permit for pets and mountain biking permitted from May through February.
The network of grass rides creates a structured system of parallel and perpendicular paths, originally designed for horseback riding through varying natural landscapes.
