This is my favorite trail in the state, very scenic along the river. best part is from woonsocket to lincoln. Some parts of this trail through the city are poorly marked and you need to share the road with cars.
Biked with e-bikes 2" tires. From the north going south (American Legion Baseball Field). Mostly crushed stone trail. Feels like a rail trail - level and wide. Only one rough area (RR ties and rocks for about 10 yds). The water on the left of the trail looked like it was drying up (no smell) and there was at least one nice lake (average views). Part of the trail runs along the highway. Only rode 5 miles as we didn't go much south of 202 (exceedingly difficult crossing at rush hour - be careful). Some of the reviews of the area south of where we rode indicate more difficult terain.

Rode the full trail on a glorious October Saturday. the views were spectacular, peppered with fiery fall leaves. The trail is in incredibly good condition over the whole length. Such a lovely ride.
My wife and I are both injured(fortunately not serious) after both of us thrown off our bikes simultaneously on a small poorly surfaced wooden bridge just north of Keene NH. The wooden boards were uneven and some rotted causing our bikes to wedge in a step-off causing us both to fall off our bikes. The trail had several road crossings just outside of the town of Keene which are very dangerous. There are tiny stop sign markings on the trail and no large or blinking light warnings on the crossing roads which have poor visibility in both directions due to curving of the road. I would not recommend this trail for transient travelers trying a new RT on vacation. This is for locals only who know the trail well in my opinion.
Part of this trail is closed, my wife and I got about 2 miles or so in and there was a detour sign for the trail and we could not find where it picked up again. Road on the streets for a bit and then headed back to the truck, got about 5 miles in on the ride so not a total loss
We did this trail today. It is quite bumpy but the scenery more than makes up for that. It goes through beautiful forests with frequent views of the Connecticut River. Don’t pass it up if you are in the area.
Hubby and I discovered this trail last fall. We absolutely love it. It's a beautiful hike with all the leaves changing. Great for pets too as it's a pretty flat walk. It's def longer than 1.7 miles though. I love that the leaves are changing we will be frequented this trail alot during this fall season!

I'm in love with this trail. Much of the trail path is dirt, but there is a new area with fine gravel. I find this such a peaceful trail and consider it to be in good maintenance. Thanks to everyone that maintains the trails.
We had a great ride! 6.6 miles. Beautiful day!
