    Beautiful, paved, bike path from Fairhaven to Mattapoisett. Take the path through Shaw Farm and find the crystal cap stone!

    Very scenic walk which leads to views of Buzzards Bay, cow pasture along the way. Terrain is a little rough due to tree roots on path. There is planking on some of the path. A few stone seating rest spots. It make an very enjoy hike ending with breakfast, lunch and views of the bay.

    Love this trail. It's a little long, but the pay off is well worth it. The beach is secluded and beautiful.

    The start of the trail is quite misleading as it starts in the middle of an item field and gets buried into the field from the road. However, it gets interesting beyond what you can see from the road. It veers into the right into the thicket trees and becomes a trail in the woods. The trail goes through some swampy areas but do have wooden plank path to walk on. You eventually end up at a big rock/boulder under a shaded tree and an area big enough to have a picnic. One would think you'd end up at the ocean shore line but it just dead ends at the rock. It's about a mile long so make sure you have no concern to hike atleast two miles.

    Very scenic, easy to find right at end of Phoenix Rail Trail. Many options to connect to other paths.

    Nice little trail for a quick walk in the woods. Muddy in areas; no issue if wearing proper footwear. Quiet, no one has been out there any time I have been. We park at Fairhaven DPW, walk the bike path up to the trail. Otherwise the parking is roadside, no formal trailhead parking.

    I love the Shaw Farm Trail! It has a great view of the farm, with barn, silo and usually a few cows. Flat but roots and rocks abound so watch your step. So relaxing...

    An absolutely gorgeous trail through the woods just off the Phoenix Bike Trail! If you walk far enough you can get to the Bridle Path which has more trails off it! Try to remember where you go or you may get lost!
