Bay Circuit Trail: Terra Incognita Part 2. The Bridgewaters.

Satucket River East Bridgewater MA

The Bay Circuit Trail winds through interesting parts of West and East Bridgewater as it heads to the southern coast edge short with a dip into the main namesake of Bridgewater. The many tendrils of the Taunton River Watershed wind through the drainage making it an appropriate area for a riparian trail routing.
