Best Community run Trail 
I was so impressed the first time I rode on the rail trail. I kept wondering when this thing was going to come to an end or turn into a brambled single track. When I found out it was 23 miles long I really couldn't believe it. It is a real gem and its right out the back door

Just saw Dick Corr and we decided on Thursday May 16 for the high bridge railing in Canaan. He has remeasured out there and is working on posts now. Save that date, will update you ahead of time.
The FNRT will be replacing old side rails on the high bridge(one mile east of Potato Road) over the Indian River in Canaan this spring. The main part of the bridge was replaced a couple of years ago by FNRT. We will be applying for a local grant to totally complete the bridge. Most of the trail work is funded by grants from the State of NH with matching money coming from membership dues . Please consider joining FNRT to make this the best trail in NH. Did you know we were picked as being in the top 100 best trails in the country?

Daniel Webster, the famed orator and New Hampshire native, was a featured speaker at the 1847 ribbon cutting for Boston and Maine Railroad’s Northern Line. At the ceremony in Lebanon, before a crowd of more than a thousand, he said of the railroad, “It is the spirit and influence of free labor, it is the indomitable industry of a free people, that has done all this.”
The same could be said of today’s Northern Rail Trail, which begins just steps away from where Webster gave that keynote address and follows the same path as the railway once did. It was built by the hard and loving labor of hundreds of volunteers and is now the longest rail-trail in the state, spanning 52 miles.

Planning for the 2013 Recreational Trails Program Grant – What Would You Like to See?
Over the years RTP grants have been the major source of trail building and maintenance for our rail trail. Now that more than 80% of the 23 miles in Grafton Co. has been resurfaced and all bridges replaced or repaired, what improvements should be made? What areas need drainage work, or are there sandy areas that need hardpack? Your feedback is appreciated. Click the: Contact Form to voice your opinion
Can we organize a volunteer crew right away to clear vegetation off the bridge behind the Goss – Logan Insurance agency in Lebanon (Cross streets are Mechanic and High St. click the event calendar link below for a Map), and surrounding area? All of a sudden, DPW is ready to go!! This is awesome, but I told them we will have vegetation out of their way
We are going to shoot for getting this started on Friday at 1pm with those that can attend. We will have a 2nd go at it on Sunday if necessary.
I can be there on Friday, but not Sunday. Would noon work for you if we find out that we need people then?
