Is very much alive and still pursuing expanding the trail to the Weirs. In fact Meredith likes the idea of expanding the trail to Meredith. Eventually there will be network of trails so that one may be able to bike from Meredith to Concord and or Hanover!

The state reserve the rights up to the shoreline. Maggie H has mentioned 'renting' the rights to abutters to access the lake, another revenue idea. I think SD/LB should be more concerned with this than the trail.

The old Lake Shore RR bed is another avenue for a recreation trail. The state on paper never really relinquished the rights despite what some land owners perceived. Abutters had to move a tear down structures when the sewage was expanded through Gilford along the old railroad bed. It stopped short of Ames Farm due to funding. It can start up again and eventually circumvent the lake.
