The Carol J. Getchell Nature Trail runs for about a mile along the Sudbury
River in Saxonville. It can be entered at either end, down stairs near the
Edwards Church, or down stairs behind the middle school. There is a good
size parking lot right at the north end.
The south end of the trail starts near the
Old Danforth Street Bridge, which is a rare example of
a Pony Prat Truss structure. Restoration of the bridge is one of the projects
of the
Friends Of Saxonville.
