Exploring the rail trails of southwestern New Hampshire just got easier.
Local officials recently released a new map of rail trails in the Monadnock and Keene regions of New Hampshire.
The new Monadnock Region/Keene Rail Trail Map, published by the Southwest Region Planning Commission, includes information on more than 10 trails in the region.
The map offers detailed route information, access points, and connections to other trail systems. It also features information about trail surface condition, parking locations, distances and a variety of other information.
“Southwest New Hampshire has an incredible network of rail trails, but many people don’t realize how connected and accessible they are,” said Mike Kowalczyk, President of the Monadnock Region Rail Trail Collaborative “This map makes it easier than ever to discover and enjoy them.”
Among the trails included in the map are the 42-mile-long Cheshire Rail Trail, the 21-mile Ashuelot Rail Trail, and the 7-mile Monadnock Rail Trail.
Printed maps are available in Keene at Norm’s Ski and Bike Shop Alpine Bike Works and the Greater Monadnock Collaborative regional chamber of commerce.
