Chesterfield Gorge offers a 3/4 mile hike with fantastic views. It isn't the longest hike, but there are great views of the gorge nearly the entire way. This one isn't recommended if you have difficulty navigating hilly terrain, but if that isn't an issue then this one is terrific if you want a short but rewarding hike - with or without the kids.

Bridge(s), Dog-Friendly, Easy, MA, Medium - Encounter Several People, Paved, Rail Trail, Stroller-Friendly, Water, Wheelchair Accessible
This bicycle trail is just over 3 miles in length and hugs the Connecticut River. It is great for walking and running as well. It is flat and well maintained. The scenery is nice also as you will pass a nice bridge and plentiful views of the river. Surprisingly, we have never seen this path get too busy, but there are usually a few people on it each time we visit.
