Come enjoy the quiet, tree lined back roads of Groton, Pepperell and Dunstable near the New Hampshire border. Both routes take the roller coaster-like Whiley Rd past Lost Lake in Groton. The long route passes Massapoag Lake in Dunstable. After the ride treat yourself to a beer and fine food at True West brewery in Acton. Brewery opens at noon. If beer isn't your thing you can reward yourself next door at the West Side Creamery. Or have a cold iced coffee next next door at the Acton Coffee House. There is a treat for everyone in West Acton!
