Rail Trail Bikepacking in the Lakes Region

thinkxingu · 08-23-2021, 11:58 PM

I just returned from 110 miles of bikepacking the Erie Canal with my Scout troop and am now looking for options closer to home.

Anyone have any suggestions for long enough rail trail (read: flat, paved/hard-packed gravel) to bikepack the area?

We have biked much of the 58 mile Northern Rail Trail:

It may be the longest continuous trail in NH however I don't know about camping.

The Cross NH trail is more of a collection of trails and secondary roads.
