Assabet River Trail Access

This fishing access site is located along the Assabet River Blue and Green Trail in Acton, featuring a 180-foot boardwalk with an observation platform and bench approximately 130 feet from the parking area at Old High Street.

The mostly level shoreline trail offers numerous good fishing spots for those with valid Massachusetts fishing licenses, along with opportunities for wildlife viewing including bald eagles, herons, and river otters.

A small gravel parking lot provides convenient access to this 1-mile out-and-back trail that extends into Maynard.
