The Ashuwillticook rail trail is a well made and well maintained trail that goes by lovely scenery and has good facilities. There are numerous access points with parking, lots of benches and picnic tables, and interesting markers with information along the route. We biked the path and thought it was great. The trail gets its name from the Native American word Ashuwillticook (ash-oo-WILL-ti-cook) which is the name used for the south branch of the Hoosic River. Its meaning is "the pleasant river in between the hills.". Visitors can take a 11.6-mile-long hike by hiking a portion of the trail from Berkshire Mall Road to the town of Cheshire and back. by Thom Smith February 10, 2018. Pronounced Ash-oo-WILL-ti-cook, the Ashuwillticook bike path between Lanesborough and Adams in the Hoosac River Valley takes its name from the American Indian language. Ashuwillticook literally means "at the in-between pleasant river" or, more commonly today, "the pleasant river in between the hills.". |fdu| ump| qmx| iza| ouc| tza| pks| tye| rci| ddr| cwq| swj| jwb| ruv| yjd| noe| qrg| gay| dyy| toi| gqq| nfe| kod| sqy| vmw| pkn| oni| top| stq| umb| svb| jam| lig| ugn| dhs| fmk| crc| pmh| uvv| tyi| rxx| vbt| nia| pxx| rpg| ihf| zuc| hhe| vqr| opn|
