Once the railbed of the Boston and Maine Railroad's Northern Line, the Northern Rail Trail is now a lovely, unpaved multi-use trail. This section of the trail runs between Webster Lake and Franklin Junction, near Franklin itself. That said, the actual endpoints of the complete trail are in Boscawen and Lebanon. The surface is mostly compacted stone dust and the trail is mostly flat — great for an easy walk or run.
