Great Hill Trails at Bridgewater State University

          
                      Trail Walk 9-1-2022

Since trailblazing began in 2004, more than 3 miles of trails have been groomed and marked in the area surrounding
Bridgewater's Great Hill.

They are located behind the Adrian Tinsley Center.  These trails are suitable for many activities including, walking, running, mountain biking, as well as snowshoeing and back-country skiing.  Currently, there are six different Loops, A - F, encompassing a variety of terrain and plant life.  Thanks to the hard-working student employees and volunteers each Loop is maintained year-round.  We hope you enjoy and respect this peaceful and beautiful on-campus natural resource.
