Getting There
Bicycle From Boston's North End, the Boston Harborwalk passes under the Charlestown bridge to the south end of the dam or you can enter off Causeway St. east of North Station. You can also follow one leg of our route from Sullivan Square in Charlestown if you are coming from north of the Charles River.
MBTA
You can take your bike on T rapid transit lines and some bus lines
for no extra charge. Details are on the
MBTA website.
From North Station, turn (right from Orange Line, left from Commuter Rail) on Causeway St., then take the first left after North Station to the dam and cross it.
Car
Parking in Charlestown is very challenging. Please consider
biking or taking the T to the ride. You can pay to park at the Sullivan Square
MBTA lot a mile from the start or a commercial garage close to the start on Constitution Road.
