Wolfeboro NY Times Story

Thanks for posting wolfegirl. I found Mr. Alford's piece to be dripping in elitist
condescension. All the better if it keeps his ilk from the lake.

I've been looking for a safe place (no cars) to go riding with the kids so this post sparked my curiosity. I just looked on google maps and it looks like the trail has two causeways that run over a part of Crescent Lake and Lake Wentworth. Looks fun. How well maintained is the trail? Kids range from 10-16 yrs old. Anybody ride it that can give a review? Thanks!

I enjoyed the article. It was entertaining and put a smile on my face. Just love Wolfeboro.

We walked a good portion and absolutely loved it! There were other walkers, joggers and plenty of bike riders. I highly reccommend you and your family try it.

You will absolutely love biking or walking the Cotton Valley Rail Trail. The trail is well maintained and has compacted stone dust on top that makes it easy to walk or bike on. Along the way you can stop at Albee Beach and take a swim.
I suggest that you park your vehicle at Depot St in wolfeboro and then get on the trail there.
Don't forget to shop or eat in wolfeboro before or after your adventure. You’ll find a myriad of shops, art galleries and museums, as well as a tempting array of restaurants, bed and breakfasts and inns.

I love that description. It's exactly what it was if you took it that way! It's funny, my daughter got exactly the same thing you did from it. I didn't take it quite so badly, I guess I chose to think he was trying to be humorous rather than elitist.

An on going effort by the NY Times to paint Mitt as an elitist.
