About this Location

The Canalside Rail Trail Bridge spans the Connecticut River in Massachusetts. It was built in 1880 by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad to connect Deerfield and Montague. The bridge was damaged by a flood in 1936 and repaired soon after. Today, the bridge is part of the Canalside Rail Trail, a 3.7-mile path that offers scenic views of the river and the surrounding landscape. The trail is open to pedestrians and cyclists and is a popular spot for recreation and relaxation.
