Beautiful trail.. scenic the whole way (approx 9 miles each way), several covered bridges..peaceful, not crowded (i went on a thursday mid day and was alone for the majority of the ride) dont forget to hit bubbas for lunch after!
Jul 24, 2025 · Google ReviewGreat trail runs along Sugar River. It’s packed gravel so you need a mountain bike or a gravel bike. There were a few ATVs but they were very respectful to bikers, by slowing down to a crawl. There are a lot of great views. It can be sandy/soft in a few spots. Overall a great 9.5 miles out - RT 19miles

Jul 16, 2025 · Google ReviewI rode this on my bike to Claremont and back (22 miles RT). Very scenic and in pretty good shape considering that it's open to OHRV. There are a few historical sites but generally it's just the trail. Small parking areas at most road crossings. Trail kiosks have some info but not a lot. My new favorite in NH.
