Northern Strand Community Trail

The Northern Strand Community Trail, also known as the Bike to the Sea Trail, connects the communities of Everett, Malden, Revere, Saugus, and Lynn, Massachusetts along the former Saugus Branch Railroad of the Boston & Maine Railroad. The partially completed rail trail is part of the East Coast Greenway, a project planning to connect almost 3,000 miles of trail from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. When completed, the Northern Strand will be a 12-mile, shared-use community path that connects the seashore in Lynn to the Assembly Row MBTA Station in Somerville.

The trail also features a growing number of amenities by the wayside, including the first community garden, which opened in Malden, with the creation of additional gardens planned.
