Readers of The Hippo, a weekly newspaper published in Manchester, vote every year for “Best Of” in many categories. In the results of the 2021 poll, readers recognized that New Hampshire rail trails have become important recreational assets.
Readers chose the Nashua River Rail Trail as “Best of the Best” for bike trails in the area. Runners-up: the rail trails in Goffstown, Londonderry, and Windham. Rail trails also scored high on the list of best trails for a long run. Runner-up status in that category went to the Goffstown, Londonderry, and Nashua River trails.
