Urban Aspects Cambridge MA Alewife Bike Hub.

The Alewife Station area is a well designed hub where bikeways meet. 

The Mystic Link comes in from the north via Alewife Brook.

The Cambridge and Somerville linear park system comes in from the east.

To the south, the route to Fresh Pond connects to the Watertown Branch and the Charles River Bike Path system.

And, to the west, it heads to Waltham along the Fitchburg Cutoff and to Bedford by the wildly popular Minuteman Bikeway.

Moreover, the expanse of wetland at hand is a fairly impressive open space property complete with native deer and turkey populations.
