ACROSS Lexington: The Rick Abrams Memorial Trail Network, is a project of the Greenways Corridor Committee. It is a network of marked trails and paths for walkers, runners and trail bikers.
The routes use existing public ways to connect the town center with various historic sites, schools and conservation areas. Residents and visitors will gain enjoyment and fitness as they travel around town without a car.

- link Wright Farm to Burlington's Landlocked Forest / Paint Mine and Simonds Brook
