Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

rode a section from the VT border to Littleton. It was a chore because of all the atv traffic. They are very polite but it still makes the ride a pia. Never again. I was on a bike packing rig so big tires etc. Not for anything less.

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Rockingham Trailhead to Elling

June, 2023 by lawbarrick

Beautiful day for this 7.2 mile ride the from trailhead to Elling, where we turned around. Great trail surface with only one area where a water puddle on the trail could not be avoided. We encountered a few people walking dogs, but only one other biker. We rode mid morning. Great trail… at least these 7.2 miles!

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Great Ride

June, 2023 by maryharrodd

Mine Falls Park

Not for Road Bikes but Great for Hybrid or Mountain Biking

June, 2023 by tbrennan211

A very nice park leading from the center of Nashua to the YMCA. Really a nice asset for the community. As very little of the trail is paved, I suspect it would be difficult for road bikes but for anyone with a Hybrid or Mountain Bike, this is a nice get away. It weaves through both woods and along the waterway, providing a nice feeling of getting into nature. Definitely worth checking out for a ride someday.

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

Ed

June, 2023 by edlodge1

I live three miles from this trail. I'd like to echo others that this trail is NOT SUITABLE for bicycling, It has been chewed up by recreational and commercial ATV operators. It is doable with balloon tires but even then -- not enjoyable. Even strollers would find the walking difficult under foot. (If you're determined to bike here, the stretch in both direction off of Streeter Pond Rd. is likely the smoothest).

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Fremont Branch)

Beautiful trail, depending on what you want to do.

May, 2023 by traillink812

Gorgeous trail to ride a gravel bike from Epping to Fremont (5mi). The Fremont to Derry (rt 28) section is heavily utilized by ATV's and trail bikes, resulting in about 13 miles of loose sand (some areas were about 2" deep) with small oasis's of packed dirt, it's doable - but not pleasant. The last mile from rt 28 to the Windham rail trail is lovely to ride. The Sandown train depot looks to be worth checking out (a museum, open on Saturdays), but they were closed when I went by.

Cheshire Rail Trail (Cheshire Branch Rail Trail)

Beautiful section in terms of scenery and access to lakes and ponds. The surface can be challenging. Today, with fairly dry conditions, it could be negotiated with hybrid bikes.

Nashua River Rail Trail

Great Trail, Signage is Strange

May, 2023 by jarekiotalk

As for rail trails go, this one the cream of the crop. It is very flat and paved. People with narrow tire road bikes will do just fine. I believe it is a mile or so longer then what they say it is.

An odd thing about this trail. When you pull into the parking area on the Nashua end, there is no clear signage that it is the Nashua River Trail. Heading out of the parking lot, on the trail, I noticed the back of the signs marking it as the Nashua Rail Trail . It seems the signage should be on the other side of the trail with the writing of the sign being in front of you.

Ammonoosuc Rail Trail

Gigi

This trail is not suitable for bicycles. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful recreational trail and would be such an asset to the area but the ATV traffic has ruined it. Don’t come here if you want to bike or even walk

Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail

early spring bike ride

April, 2023 by cantabty

The trail is very well marked with easy parking. Lucky I had my fat bike today for todays ride. Trail conditions changed from dry, wet, icy packed to snow plowing. It was fun to experience all seasons in one day with a bike to handle deep mud. It’s early spring and expected.

Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail (Portsmouth Branch)

Ebiking the trail.

April, 2023 by cantabty

My first time on the trail was a great experience. The path is hard packed gravel and wide enough for various types of traffic. Foot and bike traffic. The scenery was nice, but it is early spring. I plan to return in June. The path will be very different with the tree and plants in full bloom.

Village Spur Rail Trail

Utility road

April, 2023 by ctdastrup

Like the title says, it’s not really a trail, it’s a utility access road. Cool water creek runs along it though. Seen about 15 other people and dogs on the utility road also.
