This section of the Danvers Rail Trail passes through Wenham Swamp on the edge of the Massachusetts Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Danvers Rail Trail is a 4.333-mile non-motorized shared-use path linking schools, downtown Danvers, parks, residential areas, and trails in the neighboring towns of Peabody, Wenham, and Topsfield.

​Ideal for walking, biking, or jogging, the compacted stone dust trail is built along what was once part of the historic Boston to Maine railroad running from Newburyport to Danvers.

The Danvers Rail Trail is managed and maintained by a group of community volunteers and provides a healthful recreational option available to all residents and visitors.
