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…

Black Pond Trail

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

Upper Coos Recreational Trail

We just rode the trail up & back with hybrids. No issues. Good hard pack gravel & sand. Rails & ties are removed. Good food at both trail ends. No one on the trail on first hunting season day.

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.

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.

North Conway Recreation Path

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.

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

Trail is outstanding!

September, 2024 by ponttichuck

Whatever the previous people experienced has been taken care of … the only obstacles are the barriers you go around preventing atvs from using the trail … it’s not a paved trail but it is very smooth for a natural trail… its absolutely gorgeous from Littleton to the nh border… today I am biking with my sister and brother in law and look forward to exploring the wonders of nature and enjoying every minute of it!

Littleton Riverwalk

Inspiring place to be

Local culture and true Americana… this is life as it should be!

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.
