Concord River Greenway

easy walk, cool trail

October, 2024 by brianhagopian1

A little under a mile, this trail meanders and crosses the Concord River twice, providing great views. Not crowded at all with good views of old mill buildings

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Nice views

October, 2024 by arlene.deardorff

We started in Manchester and rode east. The first 3 miles the surface was packed gravel with fall leaves but no rocks. We rode another 2 miles and found the path very bumpy with thicker gravel and rocks protruding. We have 2 inch tires but it wasn’t fun for us. We wanted to bike to Raymond but turned around. We have biked on other packed trails in NH without any issues but this path was worse after 3 miles.

Groveland Community Trail

Nashua River Rail Trail

Beautiful Biking Trail

October, 2024 by wats7park

Rode the entire trail from Ayer, MA to Nashua, NH then back to Ayer on 10/09/24. Paved the entire length and extremely well maintained with frost heaves painted white, although, one should be careful when sections of the trail are leaf strewn, as it was yesterday. Suitable for walkers, joggers, rollerblading and cycling. This is the nicest trail I’ve ridden since moving to Massachusetts 2 years ago

Granite Town Rail-Trail

Rustic and difficult in parts for bikes other than mountain bikes

October, 2024 by georgerisktaker

We did this trail with e-bikes with 2.1" tires. This all-dirt trail is very rustic and narrow in parts. From the north, after .5 miles you will start to feel the presence of tree roots which at times are very dense - so dense that they are difficult to ride over at any speed. From about .8 to 1.2 miles the trail goes up and down a hill which is all rocks and anything other than a mountain bike will need to be walked.

North Conway Recreation Path

Sept 30th not a good trail ! We ran into several meth heads and police taking them into custody, Scarey stuff to say the least. We will not be back.

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

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.

Eastern Trail

comfortable ride; well marked trail

August, 2024 by philgautreau

We cycled 20 miles, starting at bug Light in South Portland to Scarborough. Mostly flat, asphalt surface. Some riding on bike path along street traffic but most riding is on the separate bike path along water and in green areas. Highly recommend for an easy ride.

Martin H. Burns Wildlife Management Area Trail

flooded

August, 2024 by qgtwb28wbh

The trail no longer runs through. It is flooded year round due to beaver activity. Not sure if DCR or National Grid maintains it but it has been flooded for a couple years now.
