Editing Northampton, Massachusetts (section)

===Bicycle===
Northampton serves as the hub of a growing [[rail trail]] network. The north-south [[Manhan Rail Trail]] extends from the downtown into neighboring Easthampton, and as part of the [[Farmington Canal Trail]] is planned eventually to reach New Haven, Connecticut.  The [[Norwottuck Rail Trail]] runs eastward from Woodmont Road through Hadley, Amherst, and into [[Belchertown, Massachusetts|Belchertown]], with planned future integration into the [[Central Massachusetts Railroad#Rail trail plan|Central Mass Rail Trail]] to Boston. To the west, the Northampton Bikeway provides access to the city's Florence and Leeds neighborhoods, with a route through historic [[Look Park]], which continues into [[Haydenville, Massachusetts|Haydenville]], where it ends. While downtown, the bikeway runs alongside the train tracks, and provides an alternative route to King and Main Streets.<ref>Northampton Open Space, Recreation, and Rail Trail Plan: 2011-2017</ref>
