Explore 60 of the best rail-trails and multiuse pathways across three states-Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont-with this official guide
All across the country, unused railroad corridors have been converted into public multiuse trails. Here, the experts from Rails-to-Trails Conservancy present the best of these rail-trails-as well as other multiuse pathways-in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Bucket-listers won't want to miss Vermont's 13.4-mile Island Rail Trail, which boasts a spectacular 2.7-mile marble causeway crossing Lake Champlain. Those who like short and sweet might check out the 2.1-Eastern Promenade Trail showcasing Portland's Casco Bay and Portland Harbor, or for lengthier adventures, New Hampshire's 58-mile Northern Rail Trail-the longest rail-trail in the state-offers a variety of wooded landscapes, waterside enjoyment, and welcoming small towns. Whether you're on your feet, wheels, or cross-country skis, there's something for everyone in this collection of multiuse trails in Northern New England.
In this book, you'll find:
- Detailed maps for each trail, plus driving directions to trailheads
- Icons indicating the activities each trail can accommodate
- Succinct descriptions written by rail-trail experts
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy serves as the national voice for more than 160,000 members and supporters, more than 22,000 miles of open rail-trail across the country, and more than 8,000 miles of potential trails waiting to be built-with a goal of ensuring a better future for America made possible by trails and the connections they inspire.
