Twin Pond Trail

Twin Pond Trail is a short, flat singletrack ride in Massachusetts, about a mile from the town of Rockland. The trail is managed by the Department of Defense and is listed as a mountain biking route. It is a brief out-and-back, just over 0.11 miles one way, with a total round trip of about 0.22 miles. The trail is nearly flat, with a high point of 144 feet and a low of 132 feet, and the steepest section is a 2% grade at about 0.06 miles in. The trail is described as a sweet, accessible ride for beginners or a quick warm-up. It fits easily into a longer day of riding in the area, and the singletrack winds through typical Massachusetts woodland. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets.
