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 extends west from Cushing St. with a parking area at Bartlett St. 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 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.

• Beach Road Bike Lanes: Beach Road leads 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. Marked bike lanes are planned for 2008.
