Most people know the Somerville Community Path as the stretch between Davis Square and Lowell Street. But it now extends all the way to Lechmere and Cambridge Crossing, connecting to the Charles River paths — and from there, straight to Lovejoy Wharf.

Numbered pins are the roam's stops; gold rings are bonus stops. Check in at each stop in the Shift app to complete the roam.
