Have you ridden the Minuteman?
I rode the eastern leg of the Upper Charles today. Nice foliage.

LoL. Yeah, avoid the SNETT in Franklin as well. Quite nasty.

Wow, I rode the Silver Comet from Mableton to Rockmart several years ago and I don't remember any of the scenery shown above.
I'd been visiting family in Canton and convinced my brother-in-law to drive me to the trailhead one day. It turned out to be much further away than we anticipated, so I was kind of embarrassed, especially because he had to come back and get me later. For this reason, I couldn't really relax and enjoy the ride. Maybe I rode past all these things and didn't even take notice?
One thing I will tell you, though. I bought a Silver Comet Trail T-shirt at the bike rental shop and I've worn it to death over the past 15 years or so. It still looks as fresh and new as the day I brought it home!

What about Danvers/Topsfield? I know it's a bit short, but it's unpaved and I enjoyed it a lot.
Another nice unpaved trail is the Mass Central, located a bit west of Worcester.
Here are a couple foliage rides from two weeks ago:

just did 19.5 miles on the Mass Central yesterday in Rutland, Oakham & Barre. good quality packed trail. I think Wifey would enjoy it
like the way you posted your pics & always enjoy trails w water feature
had fun exploring a section that was unimproved, really unimproved but then it became impassable from either direction
