Thompson Pond Trail

Thompson Pond Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about a mile from North Abington. The trail is only about 0.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 57 feet, so it's a quick ride for a break or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. The route starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a low point of 134 feet and a high of 155 feet. That makes it an easy addition to a longer day on the bike, and the trail's brevity works well for riders who want to ride a few miles without a long climb. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hingham show July highs around 83°F with lows near 63°F, and September stays mild with highs in the mid-70s. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by. Twin Pond Trail is about 0.3 miles away, Jim's Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and the Albert L Ingeno Trail is about 0.5 miles away. For a change of pace, House Rock, a climbing area, is about 5 miles off.
