Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Highgate to Fairfield

March, 2025 by apnichols

love this trail and am really looking forward to more good-weather days ahead. I managed to get out for a ride this afternoon after a quick rain shower moved through, and it turned out to be a decent day. Despite the recent rain—and even snow just two days ago—the trail was in great shape between Highgate and Fairfield. I rode 15 miles out and back for a total of 30 miles. Smooth ride, beautiful scenery, and well-maintained conditions. Can’t wait to be back out there again soon! Better weather is coming…

Bobby Woodman Rail Trail

Could be even nicer

March, 2025 by fssn0wsh0e7

I did this as an extension of a ride down from Newport on the Sugar River Trail. I agree with the comment above about the section along Washington street by all the box stores where you are essentially riding on the verge of the highway. It doesn't seem like it would take much to fix that section up and make for a more seamless connection to the Sugar river trail. It would also be nice at the end of the trail in Claremont to give some indications to local services (food!).

Sugar River Trail

A great ride

March, 2025 by fssn0wsh0e7

Last ride of 2024 and was it super! I have a gravel bike so no real issues with the multi-use aspect of the trail as it was in pretty good shape though you could expect to have a difficult time with skinny tires or after a prolonged dry spell. Very scenic, perhaps the most scenic trail I have ridden on in NH. I tacked on the portion into Claremont to get in the mileage and the part that closely parallels the highway is a bit sketchy.

Black Pond Trail

Some big hills and a few water crossings. Pretty difficult in the snow a few icy spots. Was still enjoyable.

Cotton Valley Rail Trail

Everything you can want in a rail trail

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

A real rail trail.¿ A little danger if you hit the rails.¿ You move from within, to the sides a lot. Worth the risk.  Great scenery and condition.  Biked with e-bike with 2.1" tires. Expect Wolfeboro to be crowded during summer and fall weekends.  After the 12-mile ride to Wolfeboro, there are many wonderful places to stop for a bite to eat and drink.  Of 20 Rail Trials we rode in October, this was one of the top two crushed stone trails we rode in NH.

North Conway Recreation Path

A paved Trail in the northern part of the state!

November, 2024 by georgerisktaker

Short, but there are some local add-on trails at both ends of the trail.  Add on trails are mostly dirt and mostly for mountain bikes but our e-bikes allowed us to add a mile to the adventure. 

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Three trees down between miles 21 and, I think, 22

October, 2024 by pianomath

The trail is beautiful ... and there are three trees that were blown down a few days ago. Clearing them out requires a chainsaw or a group of strong people. It is possible to walk around them. If possible, I will post some photos. It's unfortunate that I see no way of communicating this directly to the State of Vermont.

Sugar River Trail

Not for bicycles!

October, 2024 by jimblackjim7

The scenery is very nice which is why I gave it more than one star. The surface is sand. Sometimes pretty well packed. Other times quite loose. It was doable with our hybrid bikes, but a lot of work and not much fun. Add to this a steady stream of dirt bikes and 4x4s kicking up dust and spewing fumes! Just not our kind of cycling.

Presidential Rail Trail

Pondicherry WR to Randolf, NH

October, 2024 by patstix25yrs

Plenty of parking at the Pondicherry Wildlife trail head. We ride fat tire ebikes. The trail presented little issue with some rougher, more narrow sections close to the refuge. There is a lovely viewing platform near the start of the trail. We rode in late September. The foliage was not peak but stunning none the less. The trail had only a few leaves and few puddles. Not the best for a standard bike but perfect for bikes with wider tires. We rode up to Randolf and turned around, 34 miles. not busy but we saw other riders, dog walkers, hikers and a couple of horse riders. Great views of the mountains when you break into a meadow or wetland. really fun. I took off a star because standard bikes might struggle.

Lovely easy trail. Brand new with lots of benches and area information.

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

No Longer a trail for bicycles

October, 2024 by gjerstak

We road 5 miles of the trail starting in Littleton.
But after 5 miles we turned back because ATV's have torn-up the trail.
This trail is OK for walking, but no longer OK for bicycles.
It is sad. It would be a nice trail if the ATV's had not destroyed it.
