" This trail is listed as being open to mountain biking. The first 2.9 miles of this trail from the Kancamagus Highway (renamed the Lincoln Woods Trail) are open to bikes. At the junction with the Franconia Brook Trail, the Wilderness Trail enters the Pemigewasset Wilderness, where all bikes are prohibited. The next 6 miles are only open to foot travel. The section open to biking, is wide, fairly heavily used and goes gradually uphill, with an odd railroad tie still in the ground in spots.
The hiking section of the trail follows the river and is an access route to all the interior trails in the wilderness. It is a very pretty trail, and easy to walk.
