The WWII Veterans Memorial Trail follows six miles of the Old Colony Railroad route between Mansfield and Norton. While the newest section in Norton will not officially open until next spring, the entire trail is already accessible when not under active construction.
The trail is open to equestrians, cyclists, walkers and runners, and connects commuters with the MBTA in Mansfield Center.
