Monadnock Region Rail Trail Collaborative
Your MRRTC is an informal group made up of representatives of local municipalities, non-profits, and volunteers that recognize the value in collaborating on shared goals and interests for improving the region’s rail trails. This includes restoring and maintaining the Cheshire, Ashuelot, Monadnock, Peterborough, Fort Hill and other rail trails and connecting Southwest New Hampshire, via the rail trails, to Bellows Falls, VT, Brattleboro, VT and Winchendon, MA.
Did you use the trail and have feedback or suggestions? Would you like to donate your time or expertise as a volunteer? There are many way you can help!
See the interactive Google map for trails, parking, and other points of interest.

Howdy Folks! Sorry I haven't been more communicative. On June 29, while in Boston attending a World Cup Watch Party, I tripped on an old, uneven sidewalk and fractured my right patella. I was in a Forrest Gump style brace from my thigh to my ankle for six weeks while my knee cap mended. I'm back on my bike every-other-day or so. The left knee is good and mostly healed from a total knee replacement in March, but the right knee is now weaker than ever. It will be replaced Oct. 7. I can't wait to get all this behind me and ride! I enjoyed a beautiful ride through the Cut in Westmoreland this past weekend. The wildflowers were amazing! Get on out there! I was able to identify the following: Boneset Primrose Aster Wild carrot Tall meadow rue Broadleaf Cattail Wrinkle leaf goldenrod Jack in the pulpit Oriental lady's thumb Parasol whitetop Pokeweed Silverrod Rattlesnake root
