1st year cyclist - 5 weeks in I’ve biked Salem/Windam (and a bit beyond but have not finished to Derry) two times. I made it to Derry today on third run. Fabulous Salem to Derry.

Headed east 10 miles from Lake Massebesic. Trail surface was rutted and very bumpy. Frequent large rocks sticking up and some wet/muddy areas. Not pleasant riding on a touring bike with 32mm tires. A fat bike or full suspension mountain bike would be a better choice. Four long culvert underpasses were too low to walk upright. Generally not much fun. I rode back mostly on parallel roads (which were very nice).

This trail is maintained my The Pisgah Mtn. Trailriders club which is a local snowmobile club here in Hinsdale. We as a club try our best to keep this trail open for all of it's intended purposes by keeping the trail clear of downed trees cutting the grass and grooming the trails for snowmobiling. The only help we get from the State of N.H. is some grant money for grooming the trails in the wintertime. All other expenses come out of our pocketbook. Hopefully in the future this trail will get a total facelift and be in tip top shape but in the mean time we're doing the best we can. Remember we're all volunteers and always looking for new members. Thanks

the first 2 miles were gorgeous and great rail trail packed gravel. After that we stopped at the base of a narrow rocky hill. The Brattleboro portion was great, 4 miles each way. I may go north sometime and try the top on down. I have an e bike with no shock forks/ trek verve 3. So not a mountain bike per se…

I preferred from Hillsdale. It is a bit bumpy at first. Rides on a ridge and along a river. We rode about 9 miles in from Hillsdale. Really enjoyed it! Interesting decrepid factory buildings along the river and a beautiful bridge. I have a trek verve 3 pedal assist without any special tires or front fork shock absorbers. It was mostly fine, a big puddle finally got us to turn around.

right about mile 9 from Keene it was too muddy, and trail was not packed gravel anymore so we turned around. most of the trail follows powerlines so not super pretty from Keene. Next time going to try the other end to start neat Winchester…

Great walk along the riverside. Mostly level, flat and paved surface. Easy walking and quite quiet for a Saturday. Great day for a walk along the river.

loved this trail, did fine on my trek verve with no suspension in front fork. definitely a repeat experience will happen. flat, easy, and amazing views of Connecticut river.

This rail trail is among the best we’ve pedaled. We traveled to the area (with our RV and Ebikes) specifically to tide this trail. We were thrilled. It’s beautifully maintained. The multiple road crossings are carefully managed. The views are super nice. We ride in Oct ‘21 so the foliage was full and bright. Downtown N Adams is very pretty from the trail. Some on-trail interpretive signs for some of the historic train related structures and remnants would be welcome.
