This is a pretty and easy trail, but it is in real need of mainternance. The trail is in good shape from the South Windham start through the Gambo Road playing fields/parking. Once you cross over the river, the trail gets progressively worse. The biggest downfall is the amount of potholes' but there are also quite a few areas that are collapsing/leaning.
I am handicapped and ride a recumbent trike, so my perspective is a bit different than that of a mountain biker; but it would be nice if the DOT, or Gorham & Windham, put some money into maintaining the trail.
I'd thought maybe this trail wouldn't be suitable for my road bike w/ slightly wider tires, but it worked out fine. Surface was mostly hard packed dirt/gravel, at least the 9 miles I rode starting at the southern end in Newfields. There were some muddy spots and a few rocks and roots to avoid, but never had to get off the bike and walk. Ponds, swamps, brooks and lots of woods. A few easy road crossings, no road noise on this part. Well worth a ride.
The parking area on Depot Road in Raymond has plenty of room, even for a ride on a beautiful sunday. I rode east on my hybrid all the way to the starting point in Newfields with very little difficulty other than it turned into my longest rail trail ride to date, resulting in very tired legs over the last 5ish miles of the return trip. Only a couple of busy road crossings, one with a crossing signal, while all the rest of the crossings were just rural roads.
A lovely ride, nice scenery, benches along the way for resting and well kept overall, and was my first ride on a rail trail that wasn't mostly solitary. The use of this trail is proportional to the local population. As it seemed to be more walkers on the day I rode, the number of people thinned out the further I got from an easy parking area. Rode seamlessly right through from Hood Park all the way to the Salem Ped corridor and back, a little over 16 miles total. The only complaint is the number of dog poop bags left behind, littered along the edges of the pavement.
I'm riding an eletric wheelchair & it's a nice ride.Off the street. Barbara
Started at Northwest entrance, parking across from the North Londonderry School. as you approach the trail, go left towards Derry and if you go right for a mile you will end up looking at Manchester Airport, as of this review the trail is not finish or started.
Go towards Derry for 3.5 miles and you will end up on Route 28. you have two options. Cross over 28 and there is a single track, I mean single track that should take to the Derry Bike path. The other is to follow 28 for about 3/4 of mile, on your right is A street then left on B street which turns into Franklin Street Extension, left at the fork on to Folsom Road bearing right on to N. High Street the two yellow marks for the Derry Rail Trail are visible .
The Derry Rail Trail connects seamlessly to the Windam Rail Trail, there is the B&M caboose at this trail head. Follow the Windam rail Trail to the Salem Rail Trail which is only a couple of miles right now.
All in all we had a great ride with all four trails. I hope this Help others to enjoy these trail. Can't wail for all the extensions and improvements.
It's less than 4 miles one way. Nice trail but short
This rail trail offers easy parking, beautiful scenery, great rest spots, and stunning sculptures and art work to view! We park at the playground (bathrooms) and ride through the town’s parking lots to connect with the paved trail. If we could get it more stars we would.
This is a beautiful trail, but dangerous. Besides the narrow trail and track crossings- slow down and ride over at a 90 degree angle- there are ridges down some of the hills, and steep banks along the side. You have to pay attention 100%. 2 of us fell and really hurt ourselves. Wolfeboro is a great destination, though!
This trail is in great shape…only wish it were longer…we will ride again.
Not for bikes. Such a shame .it would be a great asset to the community.
