From Jaffrey to Rindge the trail is packed gravel, except for a paved section at the start in Jaffrey. The trail includes signage and beautiful views of ponds and wetlands. From Rindge toward Massachusetts the trail is still undeveloped and is mostly packed gravel and sand, with some railroad ties still in place. The trail is great for biking; however, mountain bikes are highly recommended because of the varying surfaces.
The trail crosses busy NH-202, so use caution at those road crossings.
It is also possible to continue south on the trail from New Hampshire/Massachusetts border, but the trail is not maintained so be prepared for an adventure.
NOTE: Off-Highway Recreational Vehicles allowed in winter only.
