Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

wonderful trail with great variety

June, 2025 by teamfiona

I parked at NARA park and biked to Chelmsford. Today parked in same place and biked to west concord. Path is in great shape. Lots of trees, waterways, bridges, towns. Got to “the end” to discover that it actually goes several more miles which I’ll save for another day. I liked the poetry booth in West Concord- very original. I highly recommend this for scenery, safety, convenience of restaurants and bathroom stops. My favorite find this year.

Old Railroad Trail

Very pleasant but short ride.

June, 2025 by ktrenaud

Start at the Peterborough Shopping Plaza parking lot. Stop in the Information Center across the street. It's operated by very nice local volunteers. Make your way north though the center of Peterborough. The surfaces are mostly paved & packed. You don't hit dirt & gravel until the upper half of the trail. Most riders stop at the school bus parking lot on Rt.202. There's a small parking lot there. If you cross the road you can pick up the Powder Mill Pond Rail trail and follow it northeast for another mile or so until it ends at Forest Rd. The trail gets rougher the further north you go but it's VERY manageable for most riders.

Toonerville Rail-Trail

Modest but very nice trail.

June, 2025 by ktrenaud

Did this trail in the summer of 2024. I agree with some of the previous reviewers that signage could be a little clearer but that's a MINOR concern. The ride was quite pleasant & would make a great lunch hour break for locals. Absolutely no issues with road surfaces and traffic on the nearby highway was very light that day so no competing with cars. Very short trail so make sure you have other activities planned. Visit nearby Hoyt's Landing on the CT river for a nice end of ride picnic :-)

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail

Trail now extends almost to Route 20 in Sudbury!

June, 2025 by suebl

Yesterday we decided to see if the trail, south of West Concord, was finally open. Last year, there was a locked gate under an overpass, and the only way to get past was to drag the bike down a hill. But, to our delight, the gate is open, and we biked all the way to Sudbury, nearly to Route 20. The new leg of the trail is glorious, beautiful scenery, well-marked, great resting spots, with blinking lights at road crossings. At the end, it connects to the Mass Central Rail Trail, itself under construction, but people were biking on it anyway through a gap in the fence. The only thing missing: portapotties!

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Fremont Branch)

It's about summer OHRV

May, 2025 by fssn0wsh0e7

I've managed to ride portions of the trail between Fremont and Derry where it's open to summer OHRV on my hybrid bike (40mm gravel tires). It's not really pleasant as the trail is very sandy in sections to the point where I have had to walk my bike through sections. This is unfortunate because it's a great connector to the RT corridor that runs between Methuen, MA and Londonderry with the Rockingham Recreational trail from Manchester to Newfields. I get that summer OHRV use south of the North Woods is a scarce resource and that bikes do have the option of riding on the pavement. Except the shoulders of the roads are awful narrow. I could go on about the short sightedness of State and Local government but...

New Hampshire Seacoast Greenway

Great Trail

May, 2025 by jhqr_stone

Great trail to ride on, well maintained crushed stone path. We got on at mile 13.4 in Portsmouth and rode to mile 6.8 then turned around and headed back. A lot of tree coverage which is nice for shade but not much variation in scenery. Not sure if there is more to see further south on the trail. That being said, it’s still a great place to get outside and exercise!

Smooth cider trail all bikes, well signed, 3 road crossings well marked, full canopy not a lot to see except Hampton Airfield. Recommend stopping at Airfield after riding at restaurant and watch small planes.

Winnipesaukee River Trail

A Super Trail

May, 2025 by fssn0wsh0e7

I've walked and biked this trail many times. Quite scenic in spots where it follows the Winnipesauke River but less so as it passes by backyards. Its a great way to get through the Tilton-Franklin area without having to ride the commercial strip on Route 3. There are attractions at either end, food mostly including a brewery, that offer a fun reward. Can also be combined with the Norther Rail Trail with a short road ride.

Northern Rail Trail

One of the best in the state

May, 2025 by fssn0wsh0e7

I've ridden this trail many times and it never disappoints. I have ridden all of it in sections and each one has it's own charm. In the Grafton-Canaan stretch it can feel remote even though the highway is nearby. The section from Boscawen to Andover always has folks on it though I have never found it too busy to enjoy. The save can be said for Lebanon out towards Canaan. There are services available along the way though it might require some road riding to access some of them. The Friends of the Northern Rail Trail group does a great job, is responsive to user comments and is working to address issues like toilet access. That being said there are long stretches where you have to be willing to use the bushes. It's absolutely a carry-in/carry-out situation so its a good idea to be prepared.

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Fremont Branch)

Lovely for e-bikes

May, 2025 by alaskacantors

We are bike-packing across the country with e-bikes. A good rail trail is such a nice escape from the road traffic - this one was a delight. Mostly solid packed surface, smooth, a few muddy spots. Very scenic with a mix of woods and wetlands. Watch your head on the tunnels. Highly recommend!

Assabet River Rail Trail

glorious

May, 2025 by robertschless60

Just rode the trail south to the Sudbury line. The east west trail is finished to the west for another 8 miles. It connects to the Hudson Trail at the end.
