West Foss Farm Trail

Nice easy trail until it crosses the stream then turns into more challenging path. Small elevation changes. Lots of mosquitoes since it goes next to a stream/bog/swamp

Franconia Notch Recreation Path

Riders beware

September, 2024 by dibergie

I started this ride at the northernmost end (Skookumchuck) and rode all the way to The Flume. Unfortunately, my time there was limited, and I would have loved to stop at the many available sites along the way. Many places to stop for a bite, see nature, read about history, and use bathrooms. But be aware that this is a very hilly ride. You will have hills to climb, and you will descend very quickly. There are also a few sharp turns. Be on the lookout for walkers, other bikers, and pet walkers. The trail, while asphalt, is also bumpy due to tree roots growing underneath.

Franconia Notch Recreation Path

woodsy ride

September, 2024 by daniellefort

Started at the very north end just before the interstate starts and went to the parking lot of The Flume. It was 10.1 miles. Had some very steep hills, some picnic tables scattered along the trail and some nice scenic spots. Not my favorite trail due to the hills as I ride on a trike with a passenger seat for my daughter and struggled getting up the hills but it is very scenic.

Cotton Valley Rail Trail

cotton valley trail

September, 2024 by frbauer_tl

So this trail has a hidden risk. Going from trail on the side of the rails to inside the rails can be tricky. My wife fell twice and skinned her knee pretty good. Also trail is narrow and has lots of walkers with dogs. Views are good near wolfboro but after that it’s a tree tunnel. Don’t need to do it again.

Winnipesaukee River Trail

well maintained with beautiful views of the river

August, 2024 by brenda.viglienzoni

This trail was lovely. I did the entire trail both ways in a couple of hours. Mostly flat and well maintained. Began in Tilton on Rt 140 and road to the end in Franklin. Many nice places to stop along the way. Took some great pictures. It was a bit confusing when the trail ends and you are routed down Main Street in Tilton. I almost turned around at this point. Honestly It’s really not that far through town. Just be careful of cars backing out of parking spots. The vistas are worth it, keep going. Looking forward to checking out another trail.

Cotton Valley Rail Trail

Good trail

August, 2024 by carlbrunning99

I rode the full trail starting in Wakefield at the Turntable park ( which had a good sized parking lot) to Wolfeboro and back. Smooth surface with packed gravel and stone dust. Watch yourself on the crossing when going over the rails so you don’t catch a wheel and go for a header. Good day of biking.

Farmington Recreational Rail-Trail

Needs some serious work.

July, 2024 by bstnh1

Tried riding this trail with a regular (skinny tire) bike. That's close to impossible. It's pretty obvious the trail has not been and is not maintained. It's rutted, has tree roots across it , has wet, muddy areas and worst of all, it has sections of very soft sand that make biking on it nearly impossible. It crosses NH Rte.11, a major two lane 55MPH highway, so be prepared. It is definitely not handicapped accessible. There are no facilities of any kind along or adjacent to the trail. Overall, a huge disappointment.

Cotton Valley Rail Trail

Nine riders went in. Only 4 came out without injury. Dangerous crossings over rails. Zigzag back and forth across tracks. Why not stay on just one side???? Needs maintenance to make it safer.

Salem Bike-Ped Corridor

Salem-Windham Rail Trail

July, 2024 by kroselle25

Just did this trail today from Range Road in Windham to Derry. This is a great trail and was surprisingly not that busy for July 3rd. One tiny observation, we attempted to start at the Willow St. parking area in Salem across from Dodge Grain. Things have changed there since the Rail Trail map was done, there is no parking anywhere there now. Some company has signs saying non-company business parkers will be towed. Thus we went north. However, it looks like there is an empty lot at the Main St. - Central St. intersection across from the Depot Museum in Salem. It looks to be safe to park there and the rail trail is a few steps away.
