Connecting Holliston
Friends of Holliston Trails are connectors
Our trail links people to different neighborhoods and even to other towns, helping to keep residents connected to each other. We maintain a safe, multi-purpose trail, bring the community together by hosting family-friendly events on the trail, and support a healthful community with open space to honor fitness goals.

The founding of the trail
More than 20 years ago a group of residents had a shared vision to protect open space and eventually convert the existing railroad track into a multi-purpose trail. The ultimate vision is for five towns to create a 24+ mile loop, known as the Upper Charles Trail. . Read more about the history.
Trail etiquette
Trail systems throughout the United States have a common language for how trails can be shared by different users. We welcome walkers, runners, bikers (non-motorized), horses, cross-country skiers, and showshoers, but we all need to understand how to share the trail. Read more trail etiquette.
