Northern Rail Trail

Fall Bike Trip

February, 2021 by fnoel

The is was my first event with the MeetUp organization. It was a 40 mile ride with a great group of people. I was the “geezer” and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. And as soon as Winter is over, I want to do more of these trips.

Sawyer River Trail / Sawyer River Road

Very pretty in the fall

October, 2020 by jim_wang

I started from Sawyer River Road parking lot and biked all the way to Swift River near 112 which blocks bike access. So technically you cannot finish the whole trail, even very close. Sawyer River Rd is very good to bike. But think about Sawyer River Trail again before you continue. The trail is not maintained for biking. I had to carry the bike in several locations. There is a big falling tree completely blocking the trail.

The whole trail is very very pretty in the fall. I uploaded some photos.

Northern Rail Trail

Boscawen to Highland Lake

September, 2020 by aldcon_tl

Parked at lot at ballfield at end of Depot Street in Boscawen. Go to very end of Depot Street and lot is on the right. Took trail for about 16 miles to town beach at Highland Lake on Channel Road. Slightly uphill all the way. Very few soft spots. In general all trail all packed gravel. Public beach also at Webster Lake ( about 13 miles from Depot St.).

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

Pretty but is rough in places for bicycles. Be prepared.

Mountain Division Trail

great bike ride!

August, 2020 by meryl.block.weissman

The family all loved this rail trail. The unpaved section was a bit hilly and rocky (about 1 mile). The paved section ran parallel to the train tracks. Really cool bridge over the water. Also stopped by the Orchard Ridge farm along the way. Visited the animals and had tasty donuts, fudge and cheese.

Warren to East Haverhill Railroad Grade Trail

The trail only exists for snow mobiles.

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

Disappointed

August, 2020 by ccoker

Rode from Littleton to Lisbon. Trail is rough - large gravel that has been chewed up in places by off road vehicles. The scenery was great. Was hoping that the trail was more like others I’ve done that consisted of crushed gravel. You will want to use a mountain bike.

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Enjoyable ride

August, 2020 by ccoker

Rode from Morrisville to Cambridge Junction and back. Enjoyable ride that follows the river and meanders through corn and forests. Be sure to check out the falls. Stopped at Lost Nation Brewery at the end to rehydrate¿¿

Beebe Spur Rail Trail

Short, but sweet.

August, 2020 by bill.mason7680

The trail is in very good condition with one exception. The last mile heading north has been reduced to two narrow single tracks. It needs resurfacing before nature totally reclaims it. That being said, it's still smooth and easy to ride. There are lots of openings in the trees along the trail with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Ample designated trail parking at the hospital next door. It was a nice end to a day spent in the general Newport/Derby area.

Lincoln Woods Trail

Fun ride

August, 2020 by rmkeiser

The trail is a continues incline but not steep. There are quite a few railroad ties after the first mile but the there is room to go around in most places. Effortless return due to the down slope.

Upper Coos Recreational Trail

August, 2020 by bholdsworth7

The trail starts in Colebrook, NH and ends at Beecher Falls, just past Stewartstown, NH. One way distance is @9.5 miles. You would want to use a gravel bike or a mountain bike. The trail is easy to follow to the end. The scenery is spectacular as you follow the Connecticut River. There are 2 easy to navigate road crossings and at the end we went up to look at the Canadian border. For the way back, we rode VT102 thru Canaan all the way to RT26 (Bridge ST) that crossed back over the river into Colebrook. One note, there are ATV's on the trail. We saw a few. Everyone was very respectful of us by slowing down or waiting until we passed by. Can't say everyone would be that way, but today it was a wonderful experience. Be sure to bring water and snacks too.

Northern Rail Trail

Finest cycling rail trail in NH

August, 2020 by ca959709

Having ridden this trail in sections numerous times, and having ridden the entire length in a day last fall, It's my opinion that this is the finest rail trail for cycling purposes in NH.

In Merrimack county (Boscawen to Danbury) the dedication of the local friends group is evident. The trail is well maintained and the surface is excellent. From Grafton to Lebanon (Grafton county) the surface is trickier, with regular sandy spots and some exposed railroad ties. Despite this, the trail is still very ride-able in a gravel bike, and my wife had no issues in Merrimack county on a cruiser/townie bike.
