Upper Charles Trail

lots of street crossings

September, 2025 by chleary11

This is a good trail, but if you start in Milford and do the entire checkmark there are a lot of street crossings. The pretty parts of the trail are nice and shady and wooded, but there is a fair amount of commercial areas that you have to get through. It’s nice and flat and there are lots of parking areas along the way. My gps did not take me to a parking lot but when I put the trail into AllTrails I got accurate directions.

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

Great ride!!!

September, 2025 by johnbuckley62

Beautiful!

Old Eastern Marsh Trail

Beautiful short ride

September, 2025 by acetic.fiat.2m

This section was our continuation from the Ghost Trail. This is a short ride but well worth it. Clean trail, no weeds covering the path and most importantly no surprise potholes. Just a beautiful peaceful shaded ride. When my sister and I reached the northern end we actually decided to go to lunch at Marquis’ Lobster Pool. After lunch we rode back to the trail and headed towards Newburyport. There are no signs from the Ghost Trail pointing you towards that direction.

Salisbury Point Ghost Trail

Beautiful bike ride!

September, 2025 by acetic.fiat.2m

This route was a continuation from Amesbury’s River Walk Trail which was a bit hard to find because there is no signage pointing you in the right direction. As I continued on it proved to be a well groomed path/ride. Road was in very good condition and weed control was well taken care of. This trail started out paved then turned into well packed crushed stone/dirt. A mountain bike would work well here but it was very manageable with a road bike as well. Beautiful ride through the woods. We continued on to the Ghost Trail from here.

Amesbury Riverwalk

Amesbury trail needs a bit of attention

September, 2025 by acetic.fiat.2m

Parked in the parking lot on Water St. There are no signs pointing you towards the start of the walking/bike path. Once I found it I was on my way. Then the path went downhill in a bad way. Overgrown weeds and thorns in the paths way and not to mention all those little pot holes and low lying branches. Some areas it was hard to stay on your side of the yellow line. Very poor path maintenance until you get to the back of Stop & Shop. Then again you’re on your own to find the continuation of the route. No signs at all pointing you in the right direction. What a shame. It could’ve been a very enjoyable ride. Hope they clean the area soon.

Merrimack River Greenway Trail

MRGT

Really nice accessible trail for people of all abilities. Wheelchair friendly and just shy of all the requirements to be classified as a Universal Access Trail. Very well thought out trail, Bravo!!

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Worth every pedal

September, 2025 by emailforpablo

From Massabesic Lake parking lot to Raymond and back. Beautiful ride. Keep an eye on rocks on the trail. Otherwise, well marked and excellent ride in nature to pretty much all to yourself. Enjoy!

West River Trail (Windham County)

Lovely birthday ride

September, 2025 by diatom1

We rode to the end of the trail, then continued on Rice Farm Rd. to the dangerous intersection. we missed the entrance to the trail on the way back, so got a good workout on some hilly spots on the road.
On the packed sand patches, keep an eye out for roots that can be a bit dicey. In some spots along the gravel sections, the gravel can be a bit loose, so pay attention to the trail.

Ashuelot Recreational Rail Trail

Awesome Trail!

September, 2025 by mtheis.45

First time and loved it! I rode the entire route, starting at the south end parking lot. (42.758592, -72.471175) This trail has some unique features and the scenery is beautiful as you ride next to the river and through the woods. As a former rail, this trail has nice and gradual elevation changes and has fun bridges, which all seem to be maintained well.

At the time of my ride (end of Aug, '25) there were a couple of detours around mile 14 and 16 (heading north) but they have good (not great) detour signs listed to continue the route with a short road detour. As some folks mentioned, there are a few areas that look like they would be pretty wet during the wet season, but I had no issues with any area of the trail and never had to stop for downed trees in the way.

I rode my gravel setup (no suspension, 35mm tires) and had a blast! I'd highly recommend the trail and hope to be back for another spin soon.

Fort Hill Recreational Rail Trail

We found this trail to be well maintained. Not as smooth as some rail trails, but smooth enough on our full suspension fat tire bikes. Hard tails may not enjoy as much. Nice scenery along the Connecticut river.

Cheshire Rail Trail (Cheshire Branch Rail Trail)

Not what we expected

August, 2025 by rmitera36

We started at Walpole after searching for the trailhead parking lot finally parked our car thanks to the locals at the Irving station. We almost didn’t recognize the trail because it was grass. There were no markings and we found ourselves initially at the river at the boat launch because we didn’t realize that was the trail we were following. After backtracking, we followed the other grass trail toward Keene. Although there were portions that were dirt and gravel, the 9 mile ride that we managed to cover at 6 miles an hour with primarily grass. After an hour and a half, we realize we are only halfway to our destination of Keene and we turned back.. I recommendation would be not to start in Wall Paul, but to start and keen where the trail is paved

Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway
