Keystone Arch Bridges in Chester, MA, features a unique hiking trail that showcases the first series of stone arch railroad bridges built in the United States, set against the backdrop of the first National Wild Scenic River and the longest stretch of free-flowing river in Massachusetts. This scenic route offers hikers a blend of historic architecture and natural beauty, with towering arches and stunning views throughout the expansive wilderness area.

Recently designated as National Historic Landmarks by the U.S. Department of the Interior, the two keystone arch bridges within MassWildlife's Walnut Hill Wildlife Management Area exemplify innovative 19th-century engineering under the design of Major George Washington Whistler. Visitors can explore these remarkable structures that once served the Western Railroad, connecting Boston to Albany, while enjoying the surrounding natural landscape.
