New Boston Railroad Trail



There are two sections of trail, 3.5 miles each (round trip) for a total of 7 miles, separated by Gregg Mill Rd. Each section winds effortlessly along the picturesque Piscataquog River. One half of the trail (beginning at the stone clubhouse) has been completed, it's flat & easy with a hard-packed gravel path, benches, a picnic table, and a fire-pit along the way. The other half is still in the clearing process and has some stumps and roots, no benches or picnic area. Overall, I give this trail a "Heck Yeah!" rating, so check it when you can.
