How Can You Help Your Local Rail Trail?

All over the state, New Hampshire’s rail trails are typically maintained by a collaborative partnership of state, municipal and local
non-profit volunteer organizations. Rail trails rely heavily on local volunteers for trail maintenance and cleanup, whether it’s a “friends of” organization, snowmobile club, or town conservation commission.

You can help your local rail trail in a variety of ways. For example, you can:

  • Join or donate money to the local “Friends of” rail trail organization
  • Join or donate money to the Snowmobile or ATV club that maintains the trail. Buy a ticket if they host an annual raffle or other event.
  • Show up & help out at trail work days.
  • Advocate for more resources, funding and attention to rail trails at local & statewide meetings.

To find out which organizations maintain your favorite rail trails, scroll down & check out the info below.

***Just like many of our rail trails, this page is still under construction! Please check back frequently for updates and additions to this page! Let us know (info@nhrtc.org) if you have updates to this information & we’ll add it.***
