New Hampshire Rail Trails

Overview: So few people get to experience the real New Hampshire. The five beautiful trails featured in this bundle allow you to explore a part of New England that might very well be featured in a Norman Rockwell painting.
Each of these trails offers superb fall foliage hikes, shaded summer bike rides, winter wonderland cross-country skiing, and a spring family stroll.
Since all of the trails in this bundle were carved out of a historic railroad route, they are fairly level and suitable for all ages, shapes, and abilities. In addition to numerous activities such as hiking, biking, nordic skiing, and horseback riding, these trails also offer wonderful scenery, small town charm, and highlights from a storied past.
Whether you are traveling with your family, your partner, or yourself, you will find friendly people, educational stop-offs, and gorgeous sights along the trails. You will cross old wooden & steel bridges that span idyllic babbling streams. You will stop for a drink at an ancient country store. You will speak with residents who gladly share stories of an Americana that has been lost elsewhere, but found in these back corners of New Hampshire.
Explore to your hearts content. Ride the entire length of the trail or walk them bit-by-bit. You will make memories that last a lifetime.

Tips: -These are great bike trails, but you will need trail tires on your bicycle. The trails are not paved so can get slippery and a little muddy after a hard rain.
- Pack snacks and water. Although there are charming stores along the way on some parts of the trails, their hours of operation can be sporadic and some of the trails have more shopping opportunities than others.
- Take your camera with you. There are infinite photo opportunities during all four seasons.
-Bring a light of some kind with you, just in case you overstay your trail visit and end up out after dark.
