# Early morning views on the rail trail Good Morning and have a great day Today I will share a few shots from the Mattapoisett rail trail, not too far from where I live, I shared a post recently more focused on the trail and bike and walking/running trails but today I will focus on the views from it. Of course right now the views probably look quite different asd will the trail, I am sure it is covered with a heavy lay of snow turning to ice, after the blizzard dumped on our area, and I very much doubt it has been cleared. Now those that follow me will know I love walks by the water, and this spot is great for that, whether it be this river/creek or whatever it is in one spot ![rail tail views.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/245H6nVDdeKf4bxh9eXgGBPtwv8uYKjwtza39XQEr7atdv3iHTXNtWQBpScHWq486tZBC.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iv 17mm F11 6 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/245H6nVDdeKf4bxh9eXgGBPtwv8uYKjwtza39XQEr7atdv3iHTXNtWQBpScHWq486tZBC.jpg)**}
A little bit about the trail The Mattapoisett Rail Trail is a scenic, flat, and paved 1.9 mile multi-use path in Mattapoisett, southeastern Massachusetts, perfect for walking, running, and biking. It features breathtaking, elevated views of salt marshes, the Mattapoisett River estuary, and Buzzards Bay, and as I said focusing on the views rather than the trail for todays post. I have read there is plans to extend it further, and I also understand people who ride it often link to the the adjacent 4.5-mile Phoenix Bike Trail in Fairhaven and another water view over this pond ![rail tail views-4.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/246arAVcvpcswhZC3VaRWEEiDCfLDibsU3drCMS1mndLp76FengosiMEPgoBafA9LRWKA.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iv 17mm F11 1/15 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/246arAVcvpcswhZC3VaRWEEiDCfLDibsU3drCMS1mndLp76FengosiMEPgoBafA9LRWKA.jpg)**}
and probably my favorite spot, I always get off the trail at this point and walk along the sand by the water here and enjoy these views ![rail tail views-2.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/243fEEqzL7ffiNxUZ6MwC7fWhNx3g3eYzbwYLzB4mHYSd1ZEJdTTQhogWi15gZnnADXs6.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iv 17mm F11 2.5 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/243fEEqzL7ffiNxUZ6MwC7fWhNx3g3eYzbwYLzB4mHYSd1ZEJdTTQhogWi15gZnnADXs6.jpg)**}
And here I am looking over part of the marshy area with vbiews such as these how can i not love this spot and when it warms up and the snow clears I will be visiting there soon ![rail tail views-3.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23vNcc8LQ69ckgDfivKy8ezFa9WQJryX9AyGMYsiow8BPk4XpfsyuiHpAaVFS9vaWaS5b.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iv 17mm F11 2 Sec ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23vNcc8LQ69ckgDfivKy8ezFa9WQJryX9AyGMYsiow8BPk4XpfsyuiHpAaVFS9vaWaS5b.jpg)**}
