Agawam River Walk

Glide along the Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway, an easy 5.2-mile (8.4 km) paved route that offers continuous river views and glimpses of the Springfield skyline. With only 35 feet (11 metres) of elevation gain, this flat path is perfect for a relaxed touring bicycle ride, taking about 28 minutes to complete. You'll find yourself pedaling alongside the tranquil Agawam River Walk, enjoying a greenbelt experience right next to the water.

This family-friendly route is highly accessible with multiple entry points, making it easy to hop on and off. While it's a pleasant ride any time, consider visiting in autumn when the vibrant fall foliage transforms the riverbanks into a colorful spectacle. The paved surface ensures a smooth journey for all skill levels.

The Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway is more than just a path; it's a key part of a larger vision to revitalize the riverfront and connect communities. It runs alongside an active train line, offering unique views of railway infrastructure, and is planned to eventually link into the ambitious 3,000-mile East Coast Greenway.
