Welcome

Salisbury’s Coastal Trails provide an integral link in the Coastal Trails Network that connects Amesbury, Newbury, Newburyport and Salisbury. Salisbury's Coastal Trails include:

• Salisbury Point Ghost Trail:    Named for the "Ghost " trains that transported early automobile bodies (covered with white canvas shrouds) from Fisher Body in Amesbury through Salisbury to Detroit, this trail now extends 1.5 miles west from Lion's Park. The trail crosses Cushing St. and there is a parking area at the Bartlett St. crossing. This is a hard-packed stone dust trail suitable for walking and biking. It passes through beautiful woodlands and features native wildflowers in the early Spring.

• Old Eastern Marsh Trail: This 1.4 mile trail extends from the Merrimack River to Mudnock Road. The trail is unimproved, but is open and walkable and mountain-bikable from the river to Mudnock Road. It passes through pristine sections of the Great Marsh with beautiful views and world class bird watching. We expect this section of the trail to be constructed during 2009.

• Beach Road Bike Route: You can ride 2 miles on Beach Road from Salisbury Square to Salisbury Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Massachusetts. Salisbury Beach State Reservation offers swimming, fishing and camping to the public. Salisbury Beach Center is a beachfront business and amusement area. Stop in for some fun and refreshments.
