Print Friendly MapThe Blackmount Rail Trail leaves from Woodsville in the north. In some places the rails are still present in a parallel line. Heading south to North Haverhill the trails runs along a series of corn fields right next to Rt. 10 and ends at the village line. Next to some of the corn fields the trail is covered with wood chips which requires biking on the grass. The trail reaches its southern end at Clark Pond Rd. in North Haverhill
The trail is maintained by local ATV and Snowmobile Clubs
The Blackmount Rail Trail runs between Smith St. (Woodsville) and Clark Pond Rd. (North Haverhill), with parking available at the southern end.
Please see TrailLink Map for detailed directions.
I can only assume work was completed on this trail (or I was lucky). I found this trail to be lovely. It was not torn up, the wood chips are gone, and I did not find any rails to ride over. I really enjoyed riding this trail. I parked in the lot in North Haverhill, rode to the end, and returned. The top of the trail is beautiful with barns and mountains in the background. The bottom of the trail follows the river and even though it was late fall, the colors were amazing. I wish the trail was longer.
This trail is closed now summer/2020 but it has a detour. It’s basically riding the back roads all the way to Walmart, and Shaw’s where you can go on another trail. That trail is not suitable for wide UTVs because of the metal posts.
Nice in places. View into North Haverhill is beautiful .
I walked this trail today, a Saturday afternoon, with my dog, going from North Haverhill to Woodsville. It starts out being well packed dirt, which wasn't too rutted or puddly, and we had a lot of rain just the other day. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the walking was. Once you get down by the County complex though, the trail is very rocky and dusty. I kept getting grit in my shoes, and my toes were filthy through my running shoes. I only came across one group of ATVs, where the trail crosses 135, and while I was worried about dust it turned out to not be a problem at all. There was a breeze which may have helped clear away the dust, and like I said it has also rained recently.
So overall, this is an easy trail, it is level and in decent condition. But it's not necessarily the most enjoyable walk either.
I can no longer recommend this trail due to the ATVs tearing it up and creating thick soft sand and the authorities dumping ballast rocks on the trail in many places. Youker
This is a nice trail along the Connecticut River and N.H. Rt 10 from Woodsville to North Haverhill where the trail ends at a fruit stand. The pictures show the start in Woodsville where you can connect across two parking lots and Rt. 302 with the Ammonoosuc Rail Trail. You can also cross the highway bridge to Vermont to connect to the Montpelier to Wells River Rail Trail. (Cross Vermont Trail) The rail bridge is closed. Youker 8/25/2010
