Last weekend when it was freezing out we thought it was odd to see folks wearing shorts on the trail (pictured). But today the weather iw nice and warm and we're tempted to do the same! We hope you enjoy the trail this weekend. Just watch out for icy patches.

With the upcoming winter storm, expect the trail to be flooded and possibly covered with debris at and after 3 AM and 3:30 PM Monday. Low-lying locations may include Cedar Grove, PJP2, Finnegan Park, Tenean Beach and Morrissey Blvd at Dorchester Bay. #stormsurge #Boston

Conditions on the Neponset Trail in Milton and Dorchester - MassDCR has plowed much of the trail but there remain icy spots.

Thanks so much to the Neponset River Watershed Association, the Quincy Climate Action Network, and the Thomas Crane Public Library for hosting such a great screening and discussion of Inundation District.

The king tide plus storm surge looked to be about 12 ft, flooding Tenean Beach and Boston Bowl in Dorchester, but coming up just short of the Neponset Trail at Cedar Grove

MBTA says: "Mattapan Line service will likely be suspended [on Monday, Jan. 26] and replaced with shuttle buses as snow conditions worsen to accommodate expected accumulated snowfall and to protect the nearly 80-year-old trolleys from potential damage."

2025 has been a great year for the Neponset River Greenway with the opening of the Dorchester trail extension and lots of great events and maintenance along the trail! We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate an extension in Mattapan in the new year and push for additional connections. Happy new year!

DCR has a policy to plow snow off key shared-use paths within 24 hours of a storm so people can get to important destinations like train stations and businesses.

Have you seen the gas tank is outfitted with red and green lights for Christmas? We get a nice view of it from the recently opened Dorchester extension of the Neponset Trail! #RainbowSwash #Boston

Thanks to MassDCR for responding to our campaign to patch the bump at the north side of the Beades drawbridge in Dorchester! The patched surface eliminates a trip hazard next to a very busy stroad.
