This 48- mile trail is the longest rail trail under the management of NH Parks; its ultimate length will be 59 miles. It begins at Webster Place off Route 3 in Franklin and ends at Spencer Street in Lebanon. The trail spans two counties and has been worked on heavily the past five years to make it a destination four season trail. The surface on most of the trail is exceptional for walking and biking as well as all other permitted uses. The scenery is fabulous as it meanders through farm lands lakes and quaint towns. Mascoma Lake, the restored Enfield Depot, Potter Place Depot, Highland Lake and the covered bridge at Bridge Road are must see parts of the trail.
