Powerline Trail Behind Hebert's Candy Mansion in Shrewsbury MA

[MassMopar]

Guys
This trial came up on wrangler forum
I went and checked it out this week, it's a nice little run.
Anyone been on it before? Any background on it?
If not it's worth checking out.

Based on public GIS databases with parcel ownership info, I came up with:
New England Power Co owns the first ~30 feet of it
Town of Shrewsbury owns the next ~1500 ft of it
"Rushwan brothers inc" a trading corp with an address listed in Worcester owns the rest, all the way down to the train tracks / Rt 30. Looks like the majority of the "fun" parts are on their land, which is zoned Industrial development

There are no gates, open closed or otherwise, and no signs anywhere on the trail itself. There are danger signs stapled to the power poles (aka, don't mess with the pole). There are also MBTA no tresspassing signs on the rail road tracks like always, but nothing specific to the land itself. Overall it was in good shape, with some old power company debris there (stripped wire insulation) and a couple TVs/Air conditioners had been dumped on the trail

You might want to take this down.

Posting pictures of wheeling on public land when you're not sure if you're allowed or not is a BIG no-no.

In MA, you don't need a NO TRESPASSING sign to make it illegal for people to ride on your land.

Colin is right, not even a good idea to post locations of public trails in MA, most are overused as is.
