Of course the trailsnet guide for the Rockingham trail has been available for almost a year now, but now there's an Everytrail interactive trail guide you can download right to your smart phone (such as Android & iPhone).

This will allow you to pack everything you need to know about the trail (directions to trail, parking, food, distance/length, trail map, pictures, points of interest, etc.)

If you haven't experienced one of these yet, give it a try using the Rockingham rec trail guide.

Rockingham Recreational Trail in New Hampshire

For active travelers, the Rockingham Recreational Trail is probably the most readily available of the New Hampshire rail trails. Due to its proximity to Manchester, New Hampshire's largest town (and airport), the trail is a cinch to access.


The trail is accessible year round, but for bikers, we are coming to the best season of all. I rode this trail in late September last year, and the temperature was perfect. Unfortunately, it was a bit early for fall colors, but it was absolutely gorgeous, nonetheless.


The foot traffic  was moderate near Manchester, but I enjoyed plenty of solitude after just a couple miles on the trail. Expect to see lots of water, trees, and small critters. There are a couple places to stop for refreshments, but in general the trail is fairly remote, so make sure to bring along water, snacks, & emergency supplies like rain gear and a basic tool kit.

If it looks like rain, bring along a shower cap to put over your helmet. It looks dorky, but keeps you fairly dry in minor rain showers.
