Wife and I started in Hanover and went 15 miles the turned around and came back. Beautiful streams and lake on the way. Trail wasn’t crowded on this Thursday.

Cheshire Rail Trail (Cheshire Branch Rail Trail)

Encountered a closure north from Hurricane Rd. Not sure how far, but sign says until the end of June. Unfortunately my favorite section!

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Fremont Branch)

It is for ATVs not Bikes

April, 2022 by terron09

The trail is extremely sandy. Some parts are packed sand but many sections are like the beach. Great for ATVs, I suppose. Not great for bikes, even a mountain bike. If you do choose a mountain bike, do know that ATVs will be frequently passing you.

Derry Rail Trail

2022

April, 2022 by shesgotdice

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.

Farmington Recreational Rail-Trail

tough ride

April, 2022 by coopers.nh

we parked by the closed plant on Davidson drive.
trail started off soft, some areas quite wet and rutty. Plenty of rocky spots too that make even riding the fat tire bike tough. Trail doesn't appear to be maintained very well. However, there was a nice waterfall off to the side of the trail.

Salem Bike-Ped Corridor

A very bad trail. Don’t ride with children.

April, 2022 by kburke424


Road from Methuen to Salem, NH
First, only paved in Methuen. Once you get to Salem, no pavement and the trail is a mix of everything.
Second, SAFETY!!
With most rail trail paths that intersect with cat traffic there is warning signs to stop or traffic lights to assist with safe crossing. Not on this route.
Pretty sure at the 3 major meetings with car traffic that we encountered, they had no idea that a riding path even existed. Treacherous crossings, had to stop at the intersection just before Tuscan Village.
Please don’t call this the Rail Trail

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Bumpy Biking

April, 2022 by [email protected]

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).

Fort Hill Recreational Rail Trail

Trail maintenance

February, 2022 by buck1786.wr

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

Blackmount Rail Trail

Short, Sweet, and Beautiful

November, 2021 by sc302

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.

Cotton Valley Rail-Trail

November, 2021 by drkateklemer
