"Ponyhenge" is a somewhat quirky local landmark in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Just off the road you can see a collection of plastic rocking horses arranged in a series of circles in a field. Some find it creepy, some find it endearing, but regardless of how you feel, it's a hard-to-miss sight as you ride around the area!

This section of the Mass Central Rail Trail (MCRT) runs for three miles through Weston, and is part of a planned 25-mile trail stretching from Berlin to Waltham. The trail is accessible from Church Street, Town House Road, and Concord Road, here. The trail is a multi-use path that allows bicycles, joggers, walkers, dogs, and horseback riders. Dogs must be leashed on the trail, and all users should yield to horses. Unfortunately there are no garbage cans along the trail, so users should take their trash with them to help keep this great recreational resource clean.
