Secondary parking can be found at the municipal lot at Howland and Center Streets, about 2 blocks away, and also in the white spaces along Main St. Please, do not park in the trailhead lot of the Heritage Trail or in front of the Chester Historical Society (the depot building), as these spaces should be reserved for general day users of the trail.
