Mystic River Trails.

 

The Mystic River Trails in Medford, Massachusetts, follow the scenic banks of the Mystic River through a mix of parkland, wetlands, and historic areas. The mostly paved, easy trails connect spots like Shannon Beach on the Upper Mystic Lake, Riverbend Park, and Medford Square via the Clippership Connector. Ideal for walking, biking, or jogging, the route offers river views, wildlife sightings, and access to picnic areas and canoe launches. It’s part of the larger Mystic River Greenway, but Medford’s section provides a peaceful, accessible escape within the city’s heart.
