| DESCRIPTION |
This 8 mile multi-use trail follows an old railroad bed along the Sugar River. The trail goes over many bridges, including two covered bridges and the area has some nice forest scenery. As expected, the terrain is all easy to moderate with no steep hills and it's a nice easy ride for all skill levels including kids. Parking is available off Belknap Ave. as well as on the opposite end off Route 11. Again, this is a multi-use trail that is also popular with mountain bikers and hikers, so use caution.
