Farm Way

Farm Way is a short, easy mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about 1.3 miles from the town of Hayden Row. The climb is out and back, with a total round-trip gain of 77 feet, and the route is front-loaded, meaning the steepest part comes early. The high point is 334 feet, and the steepest grade is about 5% at roughly 0.27 miles from the start. The route is only about 0.64 miles long, so it works well as a quick ride or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. The nearest town is Hayden Row, and the trail sits close to College Rock Park, which also has the Orange Trail and the College Rock Run for mountain bikers. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in West Medway show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, while winter brings regular snow days from December through February. Several other spots are within a short distance. College Rock Run and Top Down are both about 0.1 to 0.2 miles away, and the climbing areas at College Rock and Hard Knocks Boulder are about 0.4 miles off.
