Northern Rail Trail (near the Merrimack River)

Highlight • Trail

The Northern Rail Trail was once the railbed of the Boston and Maine Railroad's Northern Line. Now it's an easygoing, unpaved multi-use trail that you'll share with runners and cyclists. This part of the trail roughly follows the path of the Merrimack River.

Road along Merrimack River

Highlight (Segment) • River

This stretch of road runs along quite close to the Northern Rail Trail and, just on the other side of it, Merrimack River. Some road bikers find the crushed-stone suitable surface of the rail trail imminently bikeable but, if you're not comfortable taking your tires on that, the road sticks pretty close to the trail — and the river — for a good while.
