Some big hills and a few water crossings. Pretty difficult in the snow a few icy spots. Was still enjoyable.
Rode this trail several times since mid-September. It is a nice length - 8 miles so not too long for a round trip. It is a new trail with all crushed stone, and it is a straight run and sufficiently wide. The scenery is typical woods. The trail crosses roads 2-3 times that are not too busy and all have lights. The parking lot, which is immediately south of the Airfield Café, is a decent size. The northern part of the trail ends by Route 1. Although I have not done it, you should be able to find your way into the city of Portsmouth from here using Islington St. or Middle Rd.
Did on e-bikes with 2" tires in early October. Done in 2-segments of 14 miles each (started in Newfields and then in Manchester and worked way to middle). From Manchester there are several lakes/ponds, so it is more scenic. Also, this segment has three railbed passes beneath the roads. You can stay on your bike for all but one - watch your head! Also the lead up and down to these tunnels is steep, so get some speed going up to them. From Newfield there are places to eat about 12 miles in. The trail is mostly crushed stone & some dirt.
Started at Delta Dental baseball stadium in Manchester. Look to quickly go over river and i93 on 2 great bridges. Seamless into Goffstown Rail Trail.
Excellent paved trail. Like Derry it can have lots of people. Go during non-peak hours. Too bad it doesn't connect to another trail. We went ¼ mile south of paved trail which was not bad (could only average 8-10 mph and reversed course at a rutted bridge. One of the best finds of October (we did 24 trails).
Great views along the river. Great connections to Piscataquog and Heritage trails. Surprised how quickly we got out of Manchester (started at Delta Dental baseball stadium - this may be on one of the other trails). Variety of scenery.
Excellent and scenic trail. It starts just north of town. Great connection to Windham Rail Trail. Avoid peek exercise times as many visit this trail.
Biked in October on e-bikes with 2" tires. From 33 Chestnut St (Dover). Went S (1 mile) and back then N (3 miles) and back. South is as much town as trail and is well paved. It also is tricky to find your way on the trail as it goes through the back of stores. We found someone to follow. The trip north is mostly dirt terrain and has many rocks and sewer caps. The trail varied from narrow to wide and had 2-spots where continuance was difficult to find, including spots by the bridge and a private drive (trail is on right of fence). You cannot maintain speeds over 12 mph on this part of the trail. Whereas, I didn't mind picking my way through the terrain, my wife hated it.
A real rail trail.¿ A little danger if you hit the rails.¿ You move from within, to the sides a lot. Worth the risk. Great scenery and condition. Biked with e-bike with 2.1" tires. Expect Wolfeboro to be crowded during summer and fall weekends. After the 12-mile ride to Wolfeboro, there are many wonderful places to stop for a bite to eat and drink. Of 20 Rail Trials we rode in October, this was one of the top two crushed stone trails we rode in NH.
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.
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.
