Yesterday I rode the new section of the Mass Central Rail Trail from Sudbury Station to downtown Hudson. Construction of the trail is still ongoing - no signage is installed yet and some work remains on the interfaces between the trail and road crossings and bridges.
That said it is perfectly rideable end-to-end and there were probably 300+ other people out there yesterday. Please just exercise caution around the road crossings where there is no signage for either trail or road users.
I hadn't realized how much the trail cuts through the Assabet National Wildlife Refuge. Compared with all other rail trails I've explored in the Boston-area this one feels much more natural and wild. It is also nice a shaded throughout even on a sunny July day. I look forward to the official opening soon!
