The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail extends from the Lowell/Chelmsford line near Cross Point and Rt. 3, through Chelmsford Center, to the intersection of Route 27 and Route 225 in Westford. The trail continues south through Carlisle, Acton, Concord, and Sudbury passing historical sites and conservation land.
