THE WOLFEBORO LINE
Wolfeboro, New Hampshire


The State of NH has given Railriders permission to use these tracks. There are 11 miles of track kept in great condition by THE COTTON VALLEY RAIL TRAIL CLUB. From Wolfeboro, NH, get on Rt. 28 N, then at 7-11 turn right to tracks. 1/4 mile down is Fernald Station where you'll be able to start Railriding.

If you head south on the track you go towards Wolfeboro, a 3 mile trip across the causeway over beautiful lake Wentworth. This trail is made for hikers as well, so in some places you may find it hard peddling over the causeways because the blue stone bed is a bit high. But the view is unmatched. I rented ANTs for use by movie makers once that used this causeway for some scenes.

If you go north towards Rt. 16, it's 8 miles of beautiful woods and wetlands filled with wildlife. End of line is at Rt. 16. You may want to enjoy some refreshments at the Miss Wakefield Diner and browse around in their unique gift shop. General idea of time...traveling 5 to 8 miles per hour, round trip takes approximately 3 - 4 hours due to stopping frequently to view woodlands, wildlife and take photos.
Here are some pictures of this great ride...
