Introduction:
Organized in 2004, the FNRT-MC aims to continue the conversion of rail bed into a four-season rail trail from Danbury to the Boscawen-Concord line. In 2006 it received a $206,000 Transportation Enhancement grant to take the rail trail from Potter Place to Danbury, where it will connect with the Northern Rail Trail in Grafton County. Ultimately the Grafton and Merrimack County sections together will total 59 miles of continuous rail trail, the longest rail trail in New Hampshire, and will allow people to ride their bikes or hike from the Connecticut River Valley to the Lakes Region.
Currently the trail has been completed as a four-season trail from Lebanon, NH through Grafton, NH and from Potter Place to Switch Road in Andover NH, but not yet into the Merrimack County towns of Danbury, Wilmot, Franklin, and Boscawen, NH.
