About us
IMPORTANT: We have retired the separate AMC Worcester Third Wednesday Meetup group. At this point it does not make sense to maintain 2 distinct Meetup groups, so if you are not already a part of our main AMC Worcester Meetup group, please join here now. All future Third Wednesday events will be posted here.
The Appalachian Mountain Club is America's oldest conservation and recreation organization. The AMC promotes the protection, enjoyment and stewardship of the mountains, forests, waters and trails of the Appalachian region. The mission of AMC Worcester is to encourage people to enjoy and appreciate the natural world because we believe that successful conservation depends on this experience.

We would love to have you join us as a Member of our AMC Worcester Chapter. Click here to join.

https://activities.outdoors.org/s/oc-activity/a5UVX0000017gZp2AI/act00020794The Upper Charles Rail Trail (27 miles) is a multi-use rail trail in central Massachusetts that stretches across communities including Milford, Holliston, with plans for further expansion. Built on a former railroad corridor, the trail offers a mix of flat, short inclines, crushed stone and paved path way that’s ideal for biking, walking, and running.
Along the way, we will ride on a mix of wooded areas, wetlands, follow Charles River that feeds into the Milford Pond at Fino Park. There will be occasional stretches near neighborhoods street crossings, connects Fino Field park and town center at Holliston which makes it both a recreational destination and a practical corridor for getting around. Overall, it provides a scenic bike path with a balance of nature with access to small towns.
The event will be longer, as it is a relaxed pace of 10-12 mph so we can enjoy the scenery and have a water or snack break at the half way point and return back the same way to our starting point.All participants must register for this event and no drop ins.
